PCL Group, a global provider of information technology services across all business sectors, has been awarded the prestigious Cyber Essentials Plus certification by the UK Government-backed National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
The Aberdeen-headquartered organisation was accredited following a rigorous independent technical audit, including remote security testing, of its systems and processes to verify its effectiveness across a wide range of modern cyber threats.
The Plus certification represents a higher level of Cyber Essentials accreditation, awarded following a much more thorough assessment and providing a greater level of assurance and demonstrating a company’s stronger commitment to cyber security.
