A strong digital security is as vital as solid foundations, especially in construction. Shanco Contracts has achieved the Cyber Essentials Certification, demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of our digital infrastructure. This certification highlights our proactive approach to addressing the evolving cyber threats facing the construction sector.

The construction sector, particularly those involved in security-sensitive projects like our work with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), is increasingly targeted by cyber threats. The National Cyber Security Centre has identified construction as a high-risk industry for ransomware attacks. Recognising this, Shanco Contracts has taken decisive steps to bolster our digital defences and mitigate potential risks.

Achieving the Cyber Essentials Certification involved a comprehensive review of our digital security practices. This included rigorous assessments and staff training to ensure our team is well-equipped to identify and respond to potential threats. This company-wide effort underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.

For our clients, partners, and stakeholders, this certification signifies our unwavering commitment to data security. Especially in projects where confidentiality is paramount, such as our MoJ contracts, maintaining trust is essential. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification reinforces our duty of care and ensures that we meet stringent security requirements. We understand that security is more than just a tick-box exercise.

Shanco Contracts recognises that digital security is an ongoing commitment. We will continue to invest in our security infrastructure and stay abreast of developing cyber threats to ensure our clients’ data remains protected. This certification is a testament to our dedication to building a secure digital environment for all our projects, and to improving our systems as threats evolve.
