Autify Digital has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification with the help of Stockserv: A story of two platforms

In today's digital landscape, where threats lurk around every corner, cybersecurity is no longer a luxury – it's a necessity. And for businesses like Autify Digital, a leading provider of digital marketing and automation solutions, safeguarding their data and systems is paramount. But achieving cyber resilience wasn't a one-size-fits-all endeavour for Autify Digital. Their unique challenge? A diverse tech ecosystem with a mix of macOS and Windows machines.


Enter Stockserv, a technology business with a knack for tackling complex IT challenges. Recognising the need for a platform-agnostic solution, Stockserv stepped in to deliver a comprehensive end-to-end technology solution that would not only strengthen Autify Digital's security posture but also pave the way for Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation.


Bridging the Platform Divide:


Stockserv's solution went beyond simply deploying antivirus software. They understood that true security requires a multi-layered approach, tailored to the specific needs of both macOS and Windows environments. This meant:


  • Endpoint protection: Implementing robust endpoint protection solutions that catered to the specific vulnerabilities of each platform.


  • Patch management: Ensuring timely patching of vulnerabilities across all devices, regardless of their operating system.


  • Network security: Fortifying network defenses to detect and prevent unauthorised access attempts.


  • User awareness training: Educating employees on cybersecurity best practices to minimise human error.


  • A single Mobile device management approach including application management across both Windows and macOS environments.


The Road to Cyber Essentials Plus:


With Stockserv's expertise guiding the way, Autify Digital embarked on their journey towards Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. This rigorous process involved a thorough assessment of their security controls and procedures. Stockserv's consultants worked closely with Autify Digital's team, providing guidance and support throughout the entire process.


A Triumphant Achievement:


The hard work and dedication paid off. Autify Digital successfully achieved Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, a testament to their commitment to robust cybersecurity practices. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without Stockserv's platform-agnostic solution and unwavering support.


Beyond the Accreditation:


The partnership between Autify Digital and Stockserv extends beyond just achieving accreditation. Stockserv continues to provide ongoing security management and support, ensuring Autify Digital's systems remain secure in the ever-evolving threat landscape.


A Message for Businesses:


Autify Digital's story serves as a valuable lesson for businesses of all sizes. Regardless of the complexity of your IT environment, achieving robust cybersecurity is attainable with the right partner and the right approach.
