Following our recent achievement of the Cyber Essentials certification, Jiva.ai is delighted to announce that we’ve also achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certification for the second consecutive year.

Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed, industry-supported scheme offering a higher level of assurance than Cyber Essentials through the inclusion of an independent vulnerability assessment and penetration testing by a certified body.

Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates our robust cyber security measures and commitment to safeguarding the data entrusted to us by our partners, clients and stakeholders. This certification is not merely an accolade, but an essential part of our operational framework that demonstrates our ability to mitigate risk, enhance trust, achieve compliance and continuously improve.

Our Journey to Certification

Achieving a Cyber Essentials Plus certification requires a comprehensive review of cyber security practices, policies, and infrastructure. Here’s a glimpse into some of the steps we took to secure this certification:

1. Comprehensive Risk Assessment

A thorough risk assessment to identify potential vulnerabilities in our systems. This involved evaluating security measures such as firewalls, secure configuration, access control, patch management and malware protection to ensure they met the necessary security standards.

2. Staff Training and Awareness

Training sessions were conducted to ensure that Jiva.ai staff are aware of data protection and cyber security best practices and can recognise potential threats. Thus, minimising any human error aspect of cyber security breaches.

3. Independent Assessment and Testing

The Cyber Essentials Plus certification process includes a rigorous independent assessment. An external certified body conducted a series of vulnerability assessments and penetration tests to verify the effectiveness of our security measures.

4. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

Here at Jiva.ai, cyber security is not a one-time effort but an ongoing process and a promise to safeguard what matters most. We continuously monitor our systems for potential threats and regularly review and update our security policies to address new challenges.

And Finally …

Achieving the Cyber Essentials Plus certification for the second year running reaffirms our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in our cyber security practices, ensuring we stay ahead of the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape.

Our heartfelt thanks is extended to our dedicated team here at Jiva.ai, whose hard work and diligence made this achievement possible. We also express our gratitude to our partners, clients and stakeholders for their trust and support. Rest assured, we will continue to prioritise your security and work tirelessly to protect the data you entrust to us.
