StaffSavvy is now Cyber Essentials Plus Certified

Security is our number one priority at SmartBlue, creators of StaffSavvy, and we’re proud to announce our recent Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government scheme that provides a higher level of assurance than basic Cyber Essentials by including a hands-on technical audit of an organisation's IT systems. The audit verifies that five key security controls are implemented and effective: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and security update management. 

What does Cyber Essentials Plus entail?

An independent, IASME-accredited auditor conducts an in-depth technical audit. 

  • Scope of the audit:

    • Internal and external scans: Testing your network and computers for vulnerabilities. 

    • User device testing: A sample of user devices is tested to confirm they are configured correctly and free of malware. 

    • Internet gateways and servers: All internet gateways and servers with public-facing services are audited. 

    • MFA verification: Evidence of multi-factor authentication on cloud services is confirmed.
