TEX Plastics Cyber Essentials Plus
5 August 2024
Cyber Essentials Plus provides a higher level of assurance to our customers and business partners.
Taking Cyber Security Serious
In these times of growing cyber threats, TEX Group has achieved the higher level of Cyber Security due to the sensitive nature of its work with the MOD. Which means TEX Plastics, as a part of the group, has undertaken a technical audit by an independent auditor. The auditor, certified by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), conducted a hands-on assessment of our IT systems. This external audit verifies that the controls TEX Plastics have in place are at the level required to achieve the Cyber Essentials+ Certification.
"Cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Cyber Essentials Plus encourages our group businesses to adopt a proactive approach to security by fostering a culture of awareness and best practices within the organisation. While Cyber Essentials Plus offers a strong foundation, it's important to remember it's not a fool-proof solution. Which is why we constantly assess our cybersecurity controls, identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in existing systems, allowing for targeted improvements."

Cyber Essentials Plus helps mitigate these risks, potentially saving companies significant financial losses. Many organisations now require their suppliers to have a baseline level of cybersecurity in place.
