Specialist risk and compliance consultants Legal Eye has achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. 

Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against common online threats. The scheme is the government’s answer to providing a safe internet space for organisations and gives companies the security they need to provide a more secure network, protecting them from 80% of the most basic cyber security breaches. Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification offered under the scheme and is a rigorous test of an organisation’s cyber security systems.  

Achieving this level of certification is key to demonstrating to customers that Legal Eye takes a proactive approach against malicious cyber attacks and that their organisation is protected against basic hacking and phishing attacks.

Paul Saunders, Managing Director of Legal Eye, said: “We are really pleased to have achieved Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. The fact that Legal Eye has secured this high-level certification means that we are putting ourselves in a strong decision to defend ourselves against cyber criminals.
