East Harbour Group is proud to announce that we have successfully achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification – the highest level of accreditation offered under the UK Government's Cyber Essentials scheme.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a rigorous, independently audited standard that confirms our organisation has the necessary technical controls in place to defend against common cyber threats. The certification forms part of our broader commitment to protecting our business, our customers, and the integrity of the global chemical supply chain.
What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme supported by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It is designed to help organisations of all sizes guard against the most common cyber attacks and demonstrate a strong security posture.
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the basic certification by including a hands-on technical verification process, where systems are independently assessed and tested to ensure they are secure and compliant with the scheme’s standards.
Why it matters
In our industry, confidentiality, security, and operational continuity are critical. East Harbour Group operates in complex and often sensitive supply chains, where trust is essential and data is a valuable asset. Our Cyber Essentials Plus certification gives customers and partners further confidence that we are taking the right steps to secure the systems and services they rely on.
It also supports our work with regulated and security-conscious sectors, and reflects the standards expected of a business with our footprint and international reach.
What it means for our customers
Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus is more than a technical milestone. It strengthens our operational foundation and provides practical benefits to our customers and partners, including:
Greater protection of commercially sensitive information and personal data
Assurance that our systems and infrastructure are regularly reviewed and tested
Reduced risk of business disruption due to cyber-related incidents
Alignment with recognised industry standards and procurement requirements
Continued investment in security and resilience
Cyber Essentials Plus represents another step in our ongoing investment in security, resilience, and continuous improvement. As digital threats evolve, so do we – ensuring that our clients and supply partners can continue to work with confidence.
