Bar Code Data is proud to announce that it has successfully achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a prestigious UK government-backed accreditation that demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity.
Cyber Essentials Plus is the advanced level of certification under the Cyber Essentials scheme, requiring a rigorous technical audit of an organisation’s IT systems. This achievement confirms that Bar Code Data has robust measures in place to defend against common cyber threats and protect sensitive data across its operations.
"Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus is a significant milestone for us," said Mike Jackson, Group CEO at Bar Code Data Ltd. "It reflects our ongoing dedication to safeguarding our clients, partners, and internal systems from cyber risks. In today’s digital landscape, trust and security are paramount, and this certification reinforces our position as a responsible and resilient organisation."
The certification was awarded following a comprehensive assessment conducted by an independent, accredited body, verifying that Bar Code Data meets all the technical controls required under the scheme.
This accomplishment not only enhances the company’s cybersecurity posture but also strengthens its credibility with clients, suppliers, and stakeholders who value data protection and regulatory compliance.
Mike went on to say: "This has been a true team effort in every sense of the word and embodies everything about the Group. We have left no stone unturned in meeting the super high standards the assessment body set, I’m proud that we’ve achieved this standard with meticulous planning and methodical approach. Gaining CE+ is a pre-requisite for much of the solutions work we are doing in the Public Sector and also for many of our enterprise clients, we look forward to continue to evolve our solutions and services across our portfolio."
