“Achieving this certification is part of our commitment to delivering excellence for our channel partners. Security is top-of-mind for organisations of all sizes, and will only be a greater concern as we move into 2018 and GDPR compliance.”
Entanet began its certification journey in June 2017. The process has involved a review of its policies, the completion of a searching questionnaire and an external penetration test.
“Only this month Ofcom refreshed its guidance, requiring all communications providers to take appropriate measures to manage risks to security, and the robust external assessment process of Cyber Essentials means that Entanet's partners can have confidence in us as their wholesale provider,” added Paul.
Achieving the certification is also a significant step towards Entanet’s commitment to achieving ISO 27001 in 2018.
