Cyber Essentials at OSP: Protecting Your Data, Protecting Your Trust

Cyber Essentials at OSP: Protecting Your Data, Protecting Your Trust

In today’s connected world, strong cybersecurity isn’t optional. It is essential.

At OSP, we take that responsibility seriously. That is why we are proud to have been recertified for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for a second year, ensuring your data and your trust are always in safe hands.

What Is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. It sets out a clear framework for security measures that every business should have in place, covering:

  • Firewalls and internet gateways to control access to your systems
  • Secure configuration to reduce vulnerabilities in system setup
  • Access control so only the right people have the right access
  • Malware protection to defend against viruses, ransomware and spyware
  • Patch management to keep systems updated and close security gaps

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification means we have implemented and maintain all these core defences, significantly reducing our risk of cyber attack.

What Is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus takes this a step further. It involves the same controls as Cyber Essentials but with independent verification through rigorous testing by a qualified assessor.
This includes:

  • Vulnerability scans of our systems
  • Hands-on testing to check our security in real-world conditions
  • Assessment of devices and software to ensure they meet the highest security standards

Holding Cyber Essentials Plus means our cybersecurity is not only designed to protect, but it is proven to protect.

Why This Matters for Our Clients

When you work with OSP, you are trusting us with sensitive business information, creative assets, and sometimes your own customer data. Our Cyber Essentials Plus certification gives you:

  • Peace of mind knowing your data is stored and handled securely
  • Reduced risk because our defences help stop threats before they cause disruption
  • Compliance confidence as we align with recognised UK government standards
  • Reputation protection by keeping both your brand and ours secure

Our Commitment to Security

For us, security is not just a compliance exercise; it’s a mindset that runs through every project, every system, and every team member. From initial brief to final delivery, we keep your data safe, so you can focus on the creative and strategic goals that matter most.
