Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation – A Step Forward In Responsible Practice
We are delighted to announce that HPA Architects has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation – reinforcing our commitment to robust cybersecurity and responsible business practice.
Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification under the UK Government’s Cyber Essentials scheme. It involves a rigorous, hands-on technical audit of our systems to ensure they are protected against common cyber threats. This accreditation confirms that our digital infrastructure meets stringent security standards and that we take the protection of sensitive data seriously.
What This Means for Our Clients
Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus isn’t just an achievement for HPA – it’s important for our clients. Here’s why:
- Enhanced Data Protection – Client project information, communications, and personal data are safeguarded by industry-standard security protocols.
- Reduced Risk of Disruption – With strong cyber defences in place, the risk of downtime or data loss due to cyber incidents is significantly reduced – ensuring continuity and reliability in our service delivery.
- Compliance Confidence – Working with a Cyber Essentials Plus-accredited partner supports our clients’ own compliance efforts, especially if they are in regulated sectors like government, healthcare, or finance.
- Trust and Transparency – Our accreditation demonstrates a proactive approach to cybersecurity, giving our clients confidence that their information is handled with care and integrity.
A Step Forward in Responsible Practice
At HPA Architects, we believe that excellence in architecture goes hand-in-hand with excellence in business operations. Cyber Essentials Plus is part of our broader commitment to quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
We’d like to thank our IT team and external assessors for their diligence and support throughout the process.
