Vodafone has been named as the first telecommunications provider to be awarded with the Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
The first multi-national firm to be awarded the enhanced version of the Government’s cyber security accreditation, the test saw Vodafone’s UK customer, internal information and IT systems tested by auditors for compliance with the standard.
The accreditation is part of a two-tier Cyber Essentials Scheme which launched two months ago. The scheme certifies that an organisation has met a number of stringent criteria to help protect the organisation’s information and IT systems against cyber attacks.
