STS Defence Renews Cyber Essentials Plus Certification for 2026

As cyber threats continue to evolve in both scale and sophistication, maintaining robust cyber security remains essential for organisations operating across the defence, government, and commercial sectors. The UK Government’s Cyber Essentials scheme continues to provide a recognised benchmark for demonstrating effective cyber security controls and organisational resilience.

STS Defence is proud to announce the successful renewal of our Cyber Essentials Plus certification for 2026, having once again passed the rigorous independent assessment. We have maintained this advanced accreditation for a number of years, reflecting our ongoing commitment to protecting our systems, data and customers.

“Successfully renewing our Cyber Essentials Plus certification year after year demonstrates our unwavering commitment to cyber security,” said Rob Ackroyd, Service Delivery Manager at STS Defence. “As cyber threats continue to develop, we remain focused on maintaining the highest standards of protection for our business and our customers. This achievement is a testament to the expertise, professionalism, and dedication of our IT team, who continually work to strengthen our security posture.”

Maintaining Cyber Essentials Plus provides our customers and partners with confidence that STS Defence continues to implement industry-recognised security controls, independently verified through comprehensive testing. As cyber security remains a critical priority across the defence sector, we will continue to invest in the people, processes and technologies that help safeguard the services we deliver.
