As part of our continuing security compliance, we would like to share some updates regarding Cyber Essential certification and the latest penetration test.

 

Cyber Essentials Certification

Cyber Essentials is a UK government support scheme that assists organisation’s with ensuring data is safe from cyber-attacks. We are pleased to announce that as of 2nd January 2025, the IASME Consortium Ltd renewed our Cyber Essentials certificate for another year.

Penetration Test complete as of week 17th February 2025

The latest penetration testing is now complete. The report identified one critical, one high, one medium, and three low recommendations.

It is worth noting that test recommendations can identify items known as an ‘accepted risks’. These are required for a system to successfully function. With this in mind, we can confirm that all necessary fixes have been implemented to the LIVE database with three accepted risks.

It is our policy to commence the next penetration test one year after fixes have been released to the LIVE database.  Therefore, we will kickstart this again in February 2026.

If you have any question regarding data security, please contact HEAT Support.
