Cyber Accreditations

Cyber Essentials at Lantech

Verified Cybersecurity, built into everything we do

Lantech holds Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating that our IT systems, policies, and practices meet the UK Government’s minimum baseline standard for cybersecurity. This annual, independently verified certification proves we take cyber risk seriously and provides confidence to clients, partners, and regulators.

Why Cyber Essentials matters
Cyber threats evolve constantly, and even simple attacks can disrupt businesses, compromise sensitive data, and damage trust. Cyber Essentials provides a clear, recognised framework aligned to five core technical controls: user access control, secure configuration, security update management, firewalls and routers, and malware protection. These measures prevent the most common internet-based cyber threats and protect your organisation from avoidable incidents.

Certification also shows customers that cybersecurity is a priority, helps businesses meet supply chain security requirements, and keeps you ahead of emerging risks. Experts regularly review the scheme to ensure it remains effective in the ever-changing threat landscape.

How Cyber Essentials works
The certification process begins with a self-assessment questionnaire covering your organisation, employees, devices, and work locations. Answers are signed off by a board member and independently verified by a qualified Assessor. Organisations completing Cyber Essentials become eligible for Cyber Essentials Plus, which adds a hands-on audit of systems for additional assurance.

    Cyber Essentials Plus at Lantech

    Independently audited. Certified year after year.

    Lantech holds Cyber Essentials Plus certification continuously, with independent third-party audits to ensure our controls are tested in practice, not just on paper.

    Why Cyber Essentials Plus matters
    Cyber risk is rising rapidly. Attack methods are evolving, AI-driven threats are increasing in speed and sophistication, and security regulations are constantly advancing. Staying secure and compliant isn’t optional, it’s essential.

    We choose Cyber Essentials Plus because it’s a recognised framework that proves our systems, policies, and day-to-day practices meet a higher standard. External audits give clients, partners, and regulators confidence that we do what we say.

    What it covers in plain english
    A qualified assessor verifies that our environment is properly hardened and monitored. Key areas include: 

      Secure configuration and patching of devices and servers.

      Boundary firewalls and internet-facing services.

      Malware defence and email protection.

      Access control and multi-factor authentication.

      Backups and incident response process.

      The result is assurance that core controls are not only in place but working as intended.

      Continuous assurance, not a checkbox
      Cyber risk management is ongoing. Lantech maintains certification year after year, using every audit as an opportunity to raise standards. Policies are reviewed, controls measured, and improvements prioritise, building real resilience.

      Benefits for SMEs

      Reduces the likelihood of disruptive breaches.

        Independent validation through third-party audits.

        What ISO 27001 really means (And why you should care)

        Why partnering with a certified MSP matters
        Most MSPs claim they “take security seriously,” but without ISO 27001 certification, there’s no independent proof. Entrusting your data and operations to a non-certified provider is like hiring an unqualified lawyer or accountant, risky and unnecessary.

        At Lantech, ISO 27001 is more than a certificate on the wall. It’s embedded in how we operate every day, giving you peace of mind, reducing risks, and ensuring your business isn’t derailed by IT failures or security gaps.

        ISO 27001, Decoded
        ISO 27001 is the international gold standard for information security management. Independent auditors verify how we protect data, train staff, monitor threats, and plan for incidents. It’s a practical, everyday discipline, not just a policy in a drawer.

        Why it matters to you

        Protection from costly breaches: Reduces financial loss and reputational damage from cyberattacks.

        Ongoing Cybersecurity discipline: Continuous audits and monitoring keep your business ahead of threats.

        Compliance confidence: Helps regulated sectors meet obligations faster and with less stress.

        Trust Signal: Shows stakeholders that your data is managed by a proven, accountable partner.

        The risk of “Trust Me”
        Using a non-certified MSP is high stakes. Without audits or accountability, downtime, lost productivity, and reputational damage become real threats.

        What this means for Lantech clients
        ISO 27001 provides assurance that we’re focused on protecting against:

          Productivity loss from downtime.

          Cybersecurity incidents that erode trust.

          Falling behind the technology curve.

          It’s not a log, it’s confidence that your business is secure every day.

          Trust, but verify
          ISO 27001 separates MSPs who talk about security from those who prove it. If your provider isn’t certified, ask why.

          If you’re reviewing options, now is the right moment to talk to us.
