Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry-supported scheme that demonstrates an organisation’s ability to protect themselves from cyber threats and prevent cyber-attacks.

Qwil had passed the first level of certification in August 2020 and has today passed the second, achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification. Cyber Essentials plus is a hands-on technical assessment from external auditors who assessed Qwil based on five security controls:
  • Internet connection security
  • Devices and software security
  • Controlled access to data and services
  • Protection from viruses and malware
  • Maintaining devices and software
  • This demonstrates the effort Qwil has invested in our security and the security of our clients.
