For the fifth year running, we’re pleased to confirm that Rolton Group is Cyber Essentials Plus certified.
With around 40% of UK businesses identifying a cyber attack within the last 12 months and a rising average cost of such attacks reaching £4,200 (or £19,400 for medium and large businesses) cyber crime continues to be a considerable threat to all businesses. The threats are varied and adaptable, ranging from high volume opportunistic attacks like phishing attempts, to highly sophisticated and persistent threats involving bespoke malware or ransomware designed to compromise specific targets.
Rolton Group’s latest Cyber Essentials Plus certification means that our business passed the Government-backed scheme’s detailed assessments and a hands-on technical verification process, confirming that our practices and approach to cyber security provide protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks.
Craig Smith, Managing Director of Rolton Group, said:
“It’s great to see our commitment to cyber security and ongoing investment in secure software and hardware infrastructure has been recognised as meeting this advanced industry standard. Not only is it good news for our own business security but it also bring peace of mind to the clients and partners we work with, as formal recognition of that cyber security commitment.”
Rolton have steadily developed our work and commitment to the North East region over the last few years through our Newcastle office and we were pleased to move our team to a new city central location in 2024. We are therefore delighted to reinforce this commitment by joining the NewcastleGateshead Initiative as a Corporate Partner for 2025.
As we approach the end of the year and the holidays, we reflect on a year full of expansion and growth and look forward to 2025.
With more than 44 years of Rolton this year has seen us developing our business internally and externally, strengthening the board, refreshing the brand, expanding the office network and sharing our thought leadership.
Rolton is proud to become a member of More Than a Building, an extraordinary network of architects, developers, engineers, contractors and others from the construction sector who are creating better futures around the world, in partnership with charity Article 25.
