Kington, United Kingdom — Planbox, the pioneering agile innovation management platform, announced today its third consecutive achievement of the Cyber Essentials certification, a key recognition overseen by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.
Cyber Essentials equips organizations with a formidable defense against the vast majority of prevalent cyber threats. The essence of this certification is critical; entities vulnerable to basic cyber breaches often stand out as targets for more profound and harmful cyber interventions. With this recurrent achievement, Planbox reinforces its dedication to safeguarding its operational prowess and its stakeholders from potential cyber risks.
The consistent attainment of this certification for three years running underscores Planbox’s commitment to maintaining high cybersecurity standards. It offers clients and partners added confidence in the company’s ability to deter most common cyber adversaries, who often zero in on entities with weaker protective measures.
Omid Pishahang, DevOps Lead at Planbox, stated, “Securing the Cyber Essentials certification for the third year in a row reflects our consistent dedication to upholding the highest levels of cybersecurity for our customers. In the ever-evolving digital realm, strengthening defenses is non-negotiable, and our team remains steadfast in this commitment to excellence and security.”
This achievement is in line with Planbox’s other commendations, including the G-Cloud 13 Framework Agreement, marking its credibility as a reliable cloud services provider to the UK public sector. Planbox also boasts ISO 27001, 270017 and 27018 compliance for its information security management and has been honored with the CSA STAR Certification. Furthermore, Planbox remains compliant with the SOC 2 Type 2 standards in the realms of Security, Availability, and Confidentiality.
