EvaBuild gains Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation - discover what this means for their clients.

A New Milestone for EvaBuild

At EvaBuild, we believe that trust and delivery go hand in hand. In an era where cyber-threats are evolving and supply-chains are under strain, we’ve taken a decisive step: we are now certified to Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+), the more rigorous level of UK government-backed cyber security. 

Why Cyber Essentials Plus?

The landscape we operate in is shifting. What used to be occasional phishing or malware incidents are now multi-vector supply-chain attacks, vendor impersonation, business email compromise and targeted hacks. For a company like ours, which works on projects involving client data, access to systems, integrations and partner networks, the risk is real. By choosing to pursue CE+ rather than the baseline Cyber Essentials level, we are going beyond the basics.

What we actually did

Behind the certification badge there was a sustained programme of work across our organisation. We began with a gap analysis of our existing IT infrastructure, policies and practices against the CE+ control set. We then implemented secure configurations, enforced multi-factor authentication, improved patch-management workflows, audited user access, hardened our network perimeter and refined our incident-response procedures.

Staff awareness was refreshed so that everyone (not just IT), understands their role in protection. 

How we did it

Reaching this standard wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise and partnership of our long-standing IT support provider, Rugosus. From the outset, they played a pivotal role in helping us navigate the rigorous requirements of the CE+ framework.

Rugosus supported us through every stage, from initial analysis and remediation planning, to implementing technical controls and preparing for the independent audit. Their proactive approach ensured that all systems were not only compliant, but optimised for ongoing resilience.

What this means for our clients

For anyone working with EvaBuild, this certification brings tangible reassurance. First, you know that we are now operating under higher-level, independently audited cyber-security controls.

That reduces the risk of:

·         Disruption to your projects

·         Data loss

·         Supplier-related breach.

Second, when you engage us as a contractor, you can lean on our certification as evidence of our commitment to cyber-resilience, which may simplify your procurement, risk-assessment or governance conversations.

Third, it means that our internal practices are modern, rigorous and aligned with a recognised UK national standard. When your systems link to ours or when we handle your data, you can trust there’s a baseline of protection in place.

Why we’re talking about it

Certification isn’t just a sticker on a website; we see it as part of how we demonstrate operational maturity and accountability. The fact is, many UK businesses still don’t hold CE+, and fewer still can confidently claim they’ve been technically audited. By announcing this milestone, we’re being transparent with clients, partners and our team about our security posture.

Final thoughts

If you’re working with EvaBuild, this certification means you’re working with a partner who has invested in cyber-resilience and chosen the higher standard. If you’re considering working with us, it’s one more reason to have confidence in our systems, our operations and our ability to protect what matters. We look forward to delivering for you with the assurance that comes from moving to Cyber Essentials Plus.
