Safe4 renews Cyber Essentials accreditation

/in , ,

Safe4 has renewed its Cyber Essentials accreditation through the IASME Consortium for the year ending August 2023. This forms an important component in the company’s internal governance and compliance programme, which also encompasses the Cyber Primed information security standard. The accreditation of Safe4 is now featured on the National Cyber Security Centre’s website.

As well as providing a class-leading level of security in the handling of customers’ information, Safe4 recognises the need for a diligent approach towards the management of its own internal activities and processes. An extensive series of information security policies has been implemented, to form the basis of a comprehensive programme of best practice measures.

The requirements for Cyber Essentials accreditation have been updated by the NCSC, and since April 2022 a different set of criteria have been applied. Safe4 has followed NCSC guidance for many years, notably in the case of password strength requirements, which allow passwords of up to 150 characters in length to be selected by users of the secure cloud-based Safe4 service.

Safe4 has passed 250,000 users

During April 2022 Safe4 has reached the quarter-of-a-million user mark. The fact that Safe4 has passed 250,000 users is significant in many ways – not least because it demonstrates the stability and reliability of the system.

The principal benefit that Safe4 brings is, of course, security. Many of the users who have created accounts in Safe4 have received vital health information through their vault, and can rest assured that their confidential personal data has not been compromised by being sent using open email. The ability to offer the highest standard of protection of personal data distinguishes Safe4 from many other systems that have been used to handle the result of Covid-19 tests, for example.

Safe4 offers the same security benefit for corporate and small business users, and is now being used extensively by many professional practitioners and service providers to manage a wide range of information safely and securely.
