Trident becomes an accredited IASME Cyber Essentials Certification Body
Trident becomes an accredited IASME Cyber Essentials Certification Body
Trident has become an IASME Cyber Essentials Certification Body, bringing certification, practical guidance and long-term cyber resilience support together through a single trusted partner.
The accreditation also makes Trident the only Cyber Essentials Certification Body based in Brighton. While headquartered on the South Coast, Trident supports organisations across the UK to help make their IT a source of strength.
For many organisations, Cyber Essentials has become an important requirement for winning contracts, meeting stakeholder expectations and demonstrating a commitment to cyber security. Yet achieving certification can often feel like a compliance exercise rather than an opportunity to strengthen security practices.
As a Certification Body, Trident can guide organisations throughout the entire Cyber Essentials journey, from readiness and remediation through to certification and ongoing support, creating a more joined-up experience.
Simon Edwards, Head of Service Management & Delivery at Trident, said:
“The organisations we work with are looking for more than a certificate. They want confidence that their technology, processes and people are helping them stay secure and work effectively in an increasingly complex world.
Becoming an IASME Cyber Essentials Certification Body allows us to support clients in a more meaningful way. Rather than simply assessing against a standard, we work alongside organisations to understand their environment, help them address challenges and turn Cyber Essentials into a foundation for stronger cyber resilience.
It’s another step in our commitment to helping organisations use technology with confidence, supported by a team that understands both the technical requirements and the wider organisational objectives behind them.“
The accreditation forms part of Trident’s continued investment in cyber security services, further strengthening its ability to help organisations build strong technology foundations, navigate evolving security challenges and make informed decisions with confidence.
Backed by a team of IASME Accredited Assessors, Trident combines technical expertise, practical guidance and a partnership-led approach to help organisations turn Cyber Essentials into a stepping stone towards stronger, long-term cyber resilience.
