Achievement of Cyber Essentials Plus certification

 

-       A key requirement to deliver services to the UK Government

-       Underscores Eckoh's commitment to maintaining the highest
standards of cybersecurity

 

Eckoh plc (AIM: ECK), the global provider of Customer Engagement Data Security
Solutions, today announces that it has extended its security accredited
framework by adding Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) to its extensive and growing
list of certifications, alongside a re-certification to Cyber Essentials.

CE+ is the highest level of certification offered under the UK National Cyber
Security Centre's (NCSC) Cyber Essentials scheme. The rigorous certification
process involved an examination of Eckoh's IT infrastructure, ensuring that
robust cybersecurity measures are in place to safeguard against a range of
cyber threats. CE+ is a key requirement for companies wishing to deliver
services to the UK Government. It also demonstrates to customers that they can
trust Eckoh to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
their data.

By gaining this new certification, Eckoh underscores its commitment to
maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity and continues to drive its
mission to set the standard for secure interactions between consumers and the
world's leading brands.

Organisations that have successfully passed the audit are listed and can be
recognised via the NSCS Government portal
https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/search
(https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/search) .

Shane Lewis, Group Head of Information Security at Eckoh, said:

"We worked closely with an external audit company who verified that our
external and internal infrastructure met the requirements. Cyber Essentials
Plus has undoubtedly delivered benefit holistically to the security of the
whole Group.

As these standards continue to mature, only the most security-focused
organisations are up to the challenge of certifying their whole enterprise.
Eckoh continues to exceed the expectations of our global customer base for
securing their card, health, and personal data. We continue to enhance Eckoh's
strategic security goals each time we add a new security certificate to our
expanding collection of ISOs and PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS (Data
Security Standard) accreditations."

Dave Holliday, Global IT Director at Eckoh, said:

"I am immensely proud of the whole team in adding another security
accreditation to the list. Whilst the standard is UK-focused, it provides
another level of comfort to Eckoh's global customer base that Eckoh maintains,
at its heart, the security and availability of the services we provide to all
customers."

About Eckoh plc

As a global provider of Customer Engagement Data Security Solutions, Eckoh is
all about making the world of data more secure.

 

Our vision is that everyone should be able to trust every brand and engage
without risk to their personal information. We're on a mission to set the
standard for secure interactions between consumers and the world's leading
brands, and our innovative products build trust and deliver value though
exceptional experiences.

 

We're trusted by many of the world's leading brands to help them manage the
personal data from customer enquiries and transactions safely. Our solutions
enable payment transactions to be performed securely and help protect
sensitive personal data across any customer engagement channel and device the
customer chooses.

 

Protected by multiple patents, our solutions remove sensitive personal and
payment data from contact centres and IT environments, as the best way to
secure data is not to collect it. This allows organisations to be not just
compliant but secure, increase efficiency, lower operational costs, and
provide an excellent customer experience.  This is our specialism.

 

Our solutions are delivered globally through multiple cloud platforms or can
be deployed on the client's site. They offer merchants a simple and effective
way to reduce the risk of fraud, secure sensitive data and become compliant
with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards ("PCI DSS") and wider
data security regulations.  Eckoh has been a PCI DSS Level One Accredited
Service Provider since 2010, and our extensive portfolio of typically large
enterprise clients spans a broad range of vertical markets including
government departments, telecoms providers, retailers, utility providers and
financial services organisations.
