The certification recognises that we have the right technical controls and security measures in place to help protect our systems, data and customer information. As Sero continues to grow and work with housing providers, local authorities and partners across the UK, maintaining the highest standards of security remains a key priority.

Why does it matter?

For our customers

Cyber security is about trust. Achieving Cyber Essentials provides additional reassurance that we’re serious about keeping customer and partner information safe and secure. It demonstrates our commitment to following recognised best practices and continuously improving how we manage and protect data.

For Sero
This certification is also recognition of the hard work, good habits and teamwork that happen behind the scenes every day. Achieving Cyber Essentials isn’t the result of a single project, it’s the outcome of a collective commitment across the business to build secure systems, protect information and do things the right way.

From implementing robust security processes to promoting strong cyber awareness across the organisation, our team has worked diligently to embed security into the way we operate.

A milestone on our security journey

While we’re proud of this achievement, it isn’t the end of the journey.

We’ve already started working towards Cyber Essentials Plus, which involves independent technical verification and testing of our cyber security controls. Achieving Cyber Essentials marks an important milestone as we continue to strengthen our security practices and ensure we meet the evolving expectations of our customers, partners and stakeholders.

Sero’s CTO, Liz comments “At Sero, security is fundamental to everything we build and deliver. Achieving Cyber Essentials reflects the commitment and hard work of teams across the business who have embedded security into our systems, processes and day-to-day operations.

“As we continue to grow, it’s vital that our customers and partners can trust us to protect their information. This certification is an important milestone, and we’re already building on it as we work towards Cyber Essentials Plus and continue to strengthen our cyber security capabilities.”
