We’re pleased to announce that Gwella Contracting has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation — a UK Government-backed certification that demonstrates our commitment to protecting our organisation, our clients, and our partners from common online security threats.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a national certification scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It helps organisations of all sizes guard against the most common types of cyber attacks, such as malware, phishing, and unauthorised access.
By meeting the Cyber Essentials criteria, we have shown that we have implemented essential technical controls — including secure firewalls, access management, software updates, and protection against malware — to safeguard sensitive data and digital systems.
Why it matters to Gwella
As our operations continue to expand across multiple regions and service areas, ensuring robust data protection and IT security has never been more important for us and our key clients. Achieving Cyber Essentials accreditation reflects our proactive approach to managing digital risk and maintaining the trust our clients and partners place in us.
This certification gives assurance that:
- We take cyber security seriously at every level of our business
- Our systems and networks are protected against common online threats
- Client and project information is handled securely and responsibly
We’d like to thank our internal team and partners who supported us in reaching this milestone. It’s another positive step in Gwella’s ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and compliance — both on site and online.
