Security & Data

We know data security and availability are important factors when considering a care planning system. Likewise, we take it very seriously. Here, you can read more about what we do to keep your data safe.

Cyber Essentials Plus is an expansion upon the “Cyber Essentials Verified Self-Assessment” which includes an audit of the organisation’s IT systems. It involves an audit of Sekoia’s system by an external assessor.

The key elements of a Cyber Essentials Plus audit can be summarised as follows:

• An assessor will pick a sample of computers at your organisation and perform an audit to ensure that the devices are configured as per the scheme.
• A vulnerability scan will be performed on these machines to confirm patching and basic configuration are at an acceptable level
• An external port scan of your internet-facing IP addresses will be conducted to ensure no clear and obvious misconfigurations or vulnerabilities can be identified.
• A test will be conducted on your default email/internet browser to confirm how well configured they are to prevent the execution of fake malicious files.
• Screenshots will be taken as evidence that the system is Cyber Essentials compliant.
