Redland Achieves Cyber Essentials Certification: A Bold New Chapter in Data Security

Cyber Essentials Logo

At Redland Information Systems, we believe in bold moves, smart solutions, and building the kind of trust that lets our clients sleep easy at night. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Redland has successfully completed and achieved Cyber Essentials certification: a critical milestone in our ongoing mission to protect the integrity and security of your data.

As a business specialising in data strategy, data migration, data warehousing, and business intelligence, we understand better than most that data is not just valuable: it’s vital. 

Cyber Essentials is more than just a badge; it’s a formal stamp of assurance from the UK Government-backed scheme that confirms we’ve taken strong measures to defend against the most common cyber threats. And now, we’re shouting it from the rooftops (or at least, the cloud!).

About Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a government-endorsed cybersecurity standard created by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It sets out five key controls that businesses must have in place to protect themselves from a wide range of the most common cyber attacks, including:

  • Firewalls and internet gateways
  • Secure configuration
  • Access control
  • Malware protection
  • Patch management

Certification means that Redland has passed a rigorous assessment of these security fundamentals, and passed with flying colours. For our clients, partners, and stakeholders, this means peace of mind knowing that your data is managed in an environment that actively guards against digital threats.

Cyber Essentials Plus

We didn’t stop at the basics. Redland has gone a step further by achieving Cyber Essentials Plus: the advanced tier of the UK Government-backed certification. 

Unlike the standard Cyber Essentials, which relies on self-assessment, Cyber Essentials Plus includes a rigorous independent technical audit of our systems, processes, and protections. It confirms that our cybersecurity measures don’t just look good on paper: they hold up in practice. 

For clients, this means greater confidence in our ability to protect sensitive data, defend against real-world threats, and maintain the highest levels of operational security.

Why Cyber Essentials Matters

Cybercrime is not just a problem for large corporations. Small to medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted, with criminals often assuming they have more vulnerabilities in their systems. 

At Redland, we’ve always been proactive about security, because our mission is to be the one source of truth for your data, and that only works if your data is secure, accessible, and accurate.

Our certification proves that we meet the high standards required to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability, not just because it’s a requirement, but because it aligns with our core values:

  • Discover – We constantly learn and evolve to meet new challenges.
  • Trust – We protect your data like it’s our own.
  • Passionate – We don’t stop until we find a solution that works.
  • Teamwork – We’re part of your team, and this is a win for all of us.

What This Means for Our Clients

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is not just a victory for us: we see it as adding value for every business we work with. 

Whether we’re managing your data migration, supporting your business intelligence tools, or delivering CRM, HR, and payroll solutions, our clients can now be confident that every interaction with Redland happens inside a secure framework.

Security is now an essential requirement in data-heavy environments like:

  • Managed Hosting Solutions
  • Data Analytics & Business Intelligence
  • Sales and Marketing Platforms
  • Project Management Systems
  • HR and Payroll Solutions

With Redland certified, you can assure your own stakeholders, regulators and clients that your data partners take cybersecurity seriously, because we do.

Our services revolve around helping organisations transform the way they work with data. We specialise in:

  • Data Strategy helping businesses plan and implement data frameworks that fuel smarter decisions.
  • Data Migration ensuring seamless, secure transitions between systems.

A Message from the Redland Team

“For us, achieving Cyber Essentials was never about ticking a box. It’s about demonstrating to our clients that security is baked into everything we do. It’s a big win — not just for us, but for every business we support.”

— The Redland Crew (aka your geeky, data-obsessed mission navigators)

What Comes Next?

Cyber Essentials is just one more step in our commitment to pushing boundaries, improving our systems, and delivering secure, insightful data solutions. As we grow, so too will our defenses. We’re already achieved Cyber Essentials Plus: the next level of accreditation involving an in-depth technical audit.

In the meantime, we invite all our clients, partners, and curious explorers to join us in celebrating this milestone.
