We are proud to announce our new partnership with East Midlands Cyber Resilience Centre (EMCRC), joining their Cyber Essentials Partner scheme. The EMCRC acts as an impartial broker in the interests of their community members located in the East Midlands, referring them when requested to their Cyber Essentials Partners, who guide them through the Cyber Essentials certification.
At Shift Key Cyber, our ultimate goal is to promote awareness and help businesses understand that cyber security is a journey of continual improvement which incorporates people, process and technology. Joining the EMCRC Cyber Essentials Partner scheme will enable us to provide our expertise to organisations of any size or industry sector across the East Midlands who are looking to become Cyber Essentials certified.
As well as being a NCSC Assured Service Provider and a Certification Body for Cyber Essentials, we also offer certification for Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 implementations.
Our Co-Founder Dawn O’Connor, who will be heading up the partnership, shared, “We are delighted to be working as a Cyber Essentials Partner with the EMCRC. Their mission aligns with our own values and directive to help businesses become more cyber resilient.”
DI Colin Ellis, Managing Director and Police Delivery Lead at the EMCRC, added:
“I’m delighted to have Shift Key Cyber working with us here at the CRC, as it’s important that we support women in this predominantly male-dominated industry. The region is also full of fantastic female led businesses and we need to make sure what we do meets their needs.
Here at the CRC we are looking to help every organisation across the East Midlands to become resilient to online crime, so it is really important to us that when a business member comes to us for help, we are able to offer them support from a partner that is not only expertly qualified, but also one that they feel they can relate to. I’m pleased to say that our Cyber Essential Partners are all diverse, save for the fact they are all experts in their field.”
