A stronger security baseline for Crowd

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed cyber security certification scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre. It sets a recognised baseline for protecting organisations against common internet-based threats through five practical controls: secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, security update management, and firewalls.

For Crowd, this means stronger protection across systems, tools, client accounts, and day-to-day operations, helping reinforce the secure foundations behind the work we deliver.

Building trust through recognised cyber security standards

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is an important step in showing that the fundamentals are in place. It gives clients and partners additional confidence that Crowd takes operational resilience seriously and is committed to recognised security standards.

In practice, this supports:

• stronger protection around systems and access
• more secure handling of digital tools and assets
• a clearer baseline for responsible operational practice

Why certification is a starting point, not the finish line

Cyber security is an ongoing responsibility. Certification confirms that key controls are in place, but maintaining strong standards takes continued attention, discipline, and regular review.

This achievement is part of our wider approach to doing the basics well and making sure the infrastructure behind our work is as dependable as the work itself.

As Crowd continues to grow, so does the importance of secure and responsible operations. Cyber Essentials certification is one more way we are strengthening the foundations that support our teams, clients, and partners every day.
