Back to News & insights
Lifetime Financial Management has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, strengthening its commitment to keeping client and customer information secure and maintaining high standards across its technology and operational processes.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK Government-backed cyber security certification that goes beyond self-assessment, requiring organisations to undergo independent testing and verification of their security controls to demonstrate that they are operating effectively in practice.
For Lifetime, achieving the certification marks an important milestone as the business continues to grow and support employers across the UK with its financial wellbeing employee benefit.
“It’s a fantastic achievement for the business,” says Tom Nelson, Compliance Director at Lifetime Financial Management.
“Cyber Essentials Plus is recognised as an industry benchmark for IT quality and security and, increasingly, it’s something employers expect to see when choosing who they work with, particularly across sectors including education, government and local authorities.
This certification gives additional confidence that our systems, controls and processes have been independently tested and verified, helping reassure both existing and prospective clients that security remains a priority across everything we do.”
The certification process took just over a month to complete and included a review and assessment of Lifetime’s IT environment, systems and internal controls to ensure security standards were maintained at the highest possible level.
Cyber Essentials Plus forms part of Lifetime’s wider commitment to delivering trusted, high-quality services and continuing to invest in the systems, governance and processes that support employers and employees alike.
What achieving Cyber Essentials Plus means:
- Independently tested and externally verified security controls
- Greater assurance for employer clients and partners
- Stronger support for contract opportunities across regulated sectors
- Continued investment in secure, high-quality service delivery
