In line with its focus on offering a comprehensive range of services for managing business and information security risks, CREAPLUS has obtained the demanding international Cyber Essentials Plus certification. The company, which already manages its information security risks in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001, has now verified the quality of the cyber protection of its own IT assets with the new certification. Elements verified by an external independent assessor include firewalls, device security settings, user access control, malware protection, and the updating and installation of patches for applications and operating systems.

We have extended our service offering with penetration testing services therefore it has been important for us to be able to transparently demonstrate the quality of our own protection to our customers and business partners," explained Mitja Trampuž, CEO of CREAPLUS.

The new certification has also expanded CREAPLUS' ability to do business in new markets, especially in the UK, where the government and public institutions require suppliers to have the Cyber Essentials certificate for public procurement involving certain IT solutions and the handling of sensitive and personal data.

This provided us with further confirmation that we are a competent provider of a comprehensive range of security services, such as internal and external security audits, penetration testing, cryptography consulting and the development of cyber security systems and applications for secure digital business," said Mitja Trampuž.
