Triangle Housing has officially achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certification!
This is the highest level of recognition under the UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme.
This milestone proves that our digital defences are secure, robust, and capable of stopping common cyber threats.

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
The Cyber Essentials scheme, managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), focuses on five basic technical security rules:
• Firewalls to secure our internet connection
• Secure settings for all of our devices and computers
• Access controls so only the right people can look at our data
• Malware protection to keep out viruses and spyware
• Software updates to fix security bugs quickly
While the basic certification only requires a self-made checklist, the Plus version required a rigorous, independent technical audit. External experts thoroughly tested our systems to prove our defences work exactly as they should.
Why This Matters to Us
• Protects Our Data: It ensures that our everyday digital workspace is well protected against cybercriminals.
• Builds Trust: It shows our clients, partners, and suppliers that we take data privacy and security seriously.
• Unlocks New Opportunities: This badge lets us bid for major government and public sector contracts that require top-tier security standards.
A Big Thank You!
Achieving this badge required a lot of hard work behind the scenes. A huge thank you goes out to our IT and security teams for guiding us through the rigorous audit process.
