NPA

Case Study

NPA had already achieved Cyber Essentials with the help of Superfast IT. After a major contract win, a supply chain security requirement meant NPA needed to pass the comprehensive cybersecurity accreditation, ISO 27001.

ISO 27001: Information Security Management covers the management of security of assets. For example, financial information, intellectual property, employee personal details and third parties handling of business data. ISO 27001 consultancy was required to guide NPA through the strict criteria, while new security practises were implemented.

IT challenges

Testimonial

Nick Haycock, MD, NPA

"We won a major tender where we needed to achieve ISO 27001 cybersecurity accreditation. And again, the Superfast guys were a large part of the project to help us to one, win the tender and secondly, achieve the accreditation. And I undoubtedly don't believe that we have got that accreditation if it wasn't for the guys walking us through and really helping us achieve the standard."
