In an age where digital security is a top priority, we’re proud to announce that Intrepid has officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification, a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to safeguard sensitive information and reinforce our cyber defences.

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It sets out a clear framework of best practices for protecting organisations from the most common types of cyber threats. From secure configuration and access control to software updates and malware protection, it ensures a solid foundation for any company’s cybersecurity strategy.

A Proactive Approach to Cybersecurity

By aligning with the Cyber Essentials framework, we’ve not only validated our existing security measures but strengthened our resilience across all levels of our operations. This certification confirms that Intrepid actively guards against threats such as phishing, malware, and unauthorized access—helping to reduce risk for both our business and our clients.

We see this as more than compliance; it's a proactive commitment to doing things right.

Building Confidence with Clients and Partners

One of the most important outcomes of achieving this certification is the reassurance it provides to our stakeholders. Whether it's clients entrusting us with their data or partners relying on us in joint ventures, this certification signals that their information is protected by robust and recognised security standards.

It’s a tangible demonstration of our dedication to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the systems and data that power our work.

Creating a Culture of Security

Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls and protocols, it’s about people. Internally, this achievement has had a powerful impact on our team. It reinforces the value we place on security and empowers our employees to stay vigilant and informed. By embedding cybersecurity awareness into our culture, we ensure that every team member is a stakeholder in protecting the business.

Continuous Improvement, Continuous Commitment

The journey to Cyber Essentials certification was also an opportunity for reflection and growth. The rigorous assessment helped us identify areas to further strengthen and improve a process that we wholeheartedly embrace. As threats evolve, so must our defences.

Our certification is not a finish line but a foundation we will continue to build upon as part of our long-term cybersecurity strategy.

Conclusion

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a proud moment for Intrepid, but more importantly, it’s a public commitment to security, transparency, and trust. As we continue to grow and serve our clients, we remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of protection in everything we do.

Cybersecurity is an ongoing journey and with Cyber Essentials, we’ve taken a confident step forward.
