DHF ANNOUNCES THAT IT HAS ACHIEVED ‘ CYBER ESSENTIALS ’ CERTIFICATION
» TAMWORTH-BASED TRADE association , the Door & Hardware Federation ( DHF ), has announced that it has achieved ‘ Cyber Essentials ’ certification , an effective , Governmentbacked scheme supported by the NCSC ( National Cyber Security Centre ) that helps protect an organisation , whatever its size , against a variety of the most common cyber-attacks .
Cyber Essentials provides a framework to improve an organisation ’ s internal processes , focusing on five key technical security controls : Firewalls , Secure Configuration , Use Access Control , Malware Protection and Patch Management . The accreditation , achieved on 19th January 2024 , demonstrates that DHF has met the required level of compliance for its IT security and protection .
“ Cyber-attacks come in all shapes and sizes , but the vast majority are very basic in nature , and undertaken by relatively unskilled individuals ,” explains DHF ’ s Commercial Director , Patricia Sowsbery- Stevens . “ Effectively , they are the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it ’ s unlocked .
“ Certified cyber security demonstrates our enduring commitment and reassures our members that we are working to secure our IT against cyber-attack – and fundamentally protecting their data . Certification will also provide DHF with the opportunity to work on larger-scale projects and form long-lasting positive relationships with public sector organisations . Cyber Essentials is , in fact , required for many Government and public-sector contracts , making it a key driver of new sales and business growth . The certification will
attract new business with the promise that cyber security measures are in place .”
DHF chose member benefit Citation as the certification body to achieve Cyber Essentials . Adrian Brine , Citations ’ Partnership Manager said : “ Citation is proud to have been a Member Benefit to DHF members for many years . We are delighted to have helped DHF itself attain Cyber Essentials Certification , which is yet another example of DHF ’ s commitment to excellence .”
