Cybersecurity: A Business
Essential, Not an Option
In today’s digital-first world, cybercrime is no longer a distant threat – it’s a daily reality. Over the past year, 43% of UK businesses have experienced at least one cyber-attack or data breach. While large corporations often make headlines, small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) – those with fewer than 250 employees – are increasingly vulnerable, often lacking the resources to recover quickly or defend effectively.At Autotech Group, we understand that cybersecurity is business-critical. October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we’re taking this opportunity to share how we’re actively protecting our data, systems, and people, and extending that protection to our clients, candidates, and contractors.
Our Commitment to Cybersecurity
Working Towards ISO 27001 Certification
In addition to being ISO 9001 certified, we are currently working towards ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management. This reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and operational integrity.
Cyber Essentials Plus Certified
We’ve retained our Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a government-backed scheme that ensures our systems are protected against a wide range of common cyber threats. This certification demonstrates our proactive stance on cybersecurity and our dedication to safeguarding sensitive information.
Cybersecurity Training with City of London Police
Knowledge is power. That’s why we’ve partnered with the City of London Police to deliver a series of cybersecurity workshops for our internal team. These sessions empower our staff to stay informed, vigilant, and confident in identifying and responding to potential cyber risks.
