HeX are proud to be official members of the Cyber Essentials certification scheme, protecting organisations against common cyber threats.
In this digital world, cyber crime is sadly on the rise and advancing quickly. Over the past year alone, 7.7 million businesses (equating to 50% of them) have experienced a cyber breach or attack.
Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature and are carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a burglar trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked.
Here at HeX, we care about our clients and your security is our top priority. This is why we have taken stringent steps to stay ahead of emerging threats, ensuring your digital space and sensitive data is in safe hands.
What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a highly-effective, Government-backed certification scheme. Being certified helps us to keep your organisation’s data safe from any online threats.
Businesses that are back by this certification are 92% less likely to experience breaches in digital security.
To check if a company is certified, you can find all current Cyber Essentials certificates on the IASME’s website.
Maintaining our Cyber Essentials certification
We value your data and undergo an annual assessment to stay up to date and maintain our Cyber Essentials certification. This rigorous process makes sure that we are taking every precaution to implement the most important security controls, staying secure against ever-evolving internet-based risks, and are covered by cyber liability insurance.
Each year, we undergo a thorough assessment to implement technical controls such as:
- Secure configuration: HeX ensures that our computers are all securely set up to minimise ways that a cyber-criminal can find a way in.
- User access control: Our team controls who can access your data and services and what level of access they have, such as users with administrator privileges.
- Malware protection: We identify and immobilise viruses or other malicious software that is used to damage or steal information before it has a chance to cause harm.
- Security update management: To protect your organisation, we actively prevent cyber criminals using vulnerabilities they find in software as an access point to your systems.
- Firewalls: We’ve created a robust security filter between the internet and your network to provide effective security.
