Strengthening trust through cyber security

At Dukes, safeguarding the data entrusted to us is fundamental to our operations.

With that, we’re proud to share that we have once again been Cyber Essentials certificated. Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed accreditation that recognises organisations with robust protections against common cyber threats.

This certification confirms that Dukes continues to uphold best-practice security measures, providing our clients and partners with the confidence that their information is in safe hands.

What Is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a national cybersecurity standard designed to help organisations defend against the most common online threats. It ensures that certified companies have implemented strong, practical protections, including:

• Firewalls and secure configuration to safeguard systems from unauthorised access

• User access controls to limit exposure of sensitive data

• Malware protection to defend against harmful software

• Regular updates and patch management to keep systems secure

  
  

What This Means for Our Clients

1. Confidence in Data Security

Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that Dukes has in place the essential controls needed to protect against cyber-attacks such as phishing and malware. For our clients, this means your data is stored and processed securely, with layers of protection that minimise risk and maintain confidentiality.

2. A Reliable and Responsible Partner

In an increasingly digital landscape, cybersecurity is integral to trust. This certification reinforces Dukes’ commitment to protecting sensitive information — both our own and that of the local authorities, private sector organisations, and partners we work alongside.

3. Meeting the Highest Industry Standards

Many public sector and commercial contracts require suppliers to hold Cyber Essentials certification. Dukes’ continued compliance demonstrates not only our security maturity but also our readiness to meet the expectations of organisations that demand the highest standards of data protection.

Our Commitment

Renewing our Cyber Essentials certification is part of Dukes’ ongoing commitment to professionalism, and trust. It ensures that every client we work with can rely on us to maintain secure, compliant, and resilient operations at all times.
