Renewed Cyber Essentials Plus Certification for 2026

We have successfully Renewed our Cyber Essentials Plus Certification for 2026

At HF, safeguarding our data and protecting against evolving digital threats remains a top priority. With a nationwide network of employees and a diverse client base, maintaining a secure digital environment is a fundamental part of our operational excellence.

We are pleased to announce that HF has officially renewed our Cyber Essentials Plus certification for another year.

Why Continuity Matters

Cyber Essentials Plus is a rigorous, government-backed scheme designed to protect organisations against the most common cyber-attacks. While the standard “Cyber Essentials” is a self-assessment, the “Plus” designation signifies that our systems have been independently tested and verified by technical experts.

In a landscape where cyber threats are becoming increasingly automated and sophisticated, this renewal confirms that HF continues to implement the essential technical controls required to stay resilient.

A Multi-Layered Approach to Security

Our security strategy is built on the principle of continuous improvement. The Cyber Essentials Plus renewal works in tandem with our ISO 27001:2022 certification. The international gold standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

• Cyber Essentials Plus: Provides an essential technical shield against common vulnerabilities like hacking and phishing.
• ISO 27001:2022: Offers a holistic, high-level framework that governs how we manage risk, business continuity, and the secure handling of sensitive data across the entire Group.

By maintaining both certifications, we provide a multi-layered defense that aligns with global best practices.

Peace of Mind for Our Partners

For our customers and suppliers, this renewal is more than just a badge; it is a clear indication that HF takes information security seriously. It provides the assurance that when you partner with us, your data is protected by industry-leading frameworks and a company culture that prioritises digital integrity.

As we move forward through 2026, we remain committed to assessing and enhancing our security practices to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring we remain a trusted, secure partner for all our stakeholders.
