Ayesda Bio has achieved Cyber Essentials certification, the UK government-backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. This milestone reinforces our commitment to secure, compliant data handling across all of our research and advisory operations.
What Cyber Essentials Means
Cyber Essentials is an independently verified certification that demonstrates an organisation has implemented fundamental cybersecurity controls. These include secure configuration of devices and software, access control measures, malware protection, patch management, and firewall and internet gateway security.
For our clients and research participants, this certification provides additional assurance that the data they entrust to us is handled within a secure, professionally managed IT environment.
Why It Matters in Research
Market research and expert engagement involve the handling of sensitive professional data — including personal contact details, professional profiles, and research responses that may touch on confidential commercial or clinical information. Maintaining robust cybersecurity is not optional in this environment; it is a fundamental requirement.
Cyber Essentials certification sits alongside our existing compliance framework, which includes GDPR, MRS Company Partnership, EphMRA membership, and IQCS auditing. Together, these accreditations reflect a comprehensive approach to quality, ethics, and security.
Our commitment: Security is not a one-off achievement. We continuously review and improve our cybersecurity practices to stay ahead of evolving threats and maintain the trust our clients and panel members place in us.
