As a trusted provider of integrated software solutions for high-security environments and critical national infrastructure (CNI), we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to cyber resilience with the achievement of ISO 27001:2022 certification and the renewal of our Cyber Essentials accreditation.
These industry-recognised certifications are more than just badges of compliance; they are key indicators of our dedication to protecting customer data, mitigating risk, and maintaining secure operations across our software and integration services.
What Is ISO 27001:2022 and Why Is It Important?
ISO 27001:2022 is the latest version of the globally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a structured and risk-based framework for managing sensitive company and customer data, ensuring that best practices are embedded across people, processes, and technologies. By gaining this certification, Cortech demonstrates that we:
- Identify and assess cyber risks systematically
- Implement robust controls to protect data and digital assets
- Continually monitor and improve our security posture
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and legal requirements
In sectors such as utilities, custodial, healthcare, transport, defence, and education, where Cortech solutions are widely deployed, maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data is essential. ISO 27001:2022 assures our clients that security is embedded into the design and delivery of every solution we provide.
The Value of Cyber Essentials for Cortech and Our Clients
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme that focuses on the five most important technical controls to prevent common cyber threats:
- Firewalls and internet gateways
- Secure configuration
- Access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
Renewing this accreditation demonstrates Cortech’s continued adherence to these baseline security measures and further supports our ability to deliver secure integration platforms, such as Datalog QL in environments that demand high assurance. For clients in high-risk sectors, Cyber Essentials not only supports supply chain assurance but also meets requirements for bidding on public sector contracts and compliance with NIS Regulations and other government frameworks.
Cyber Security in Critical National Infrastructure
As threats to CNI organisations grow in sophistication, security expectations are rising. Whether it’s a water treatment plant, a Category A prison, a data centre, or a national transport hub, Cortech’s Datalog systems must operate securely and reliably under pressure. Achieving both ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials demonstrates our ability to:
- Minimise cyber risks across our infrastructure and software lifecycle
- Safeguard client systems from internal and external threats
- Ensure secure third-party integrations
- Protect operational continuity in the face of disruption or attack
This positions Cortech as a cyber-resilient partner of choice for consultants, specifiers, integrators, and end users in highly regulated sectors.
A Culture of Continual Improvement
Cyber security is not a one-off achievement; it is a continual journey. At Cortech, we embed ongoing risk management, staff training, policy development, system testing, and incident response planning into our business operations. Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is reviewed regularly and aligned with the latest guidance and industry threats.
These certifications serve as an independent verification of the controls we have in place and reflect the proactive security culture that underpins all our software development and customer support services.
