Client Background:

2. Identifying and patching vulnerabilities within 14 days of discovery, as required by the Cyber Essentials scheme.

FoxTech’s Solution:

1. Asset Library: FoxTech’s team worked closely with the client to create a comprehensive Asset library, including hardware, software, and network components. This enabled the client to have a clear overview of their digital assets and facilitated the identification of potential vulnerabilities.

2. Identifying and Patching Vulnerabilities: FoxTech employed cutting-edge scanning tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the client’s systems. The team then prioritized these vulnerabilities and worked with the client to remediate them within the 14-day window set by the Cyber Essentials scheme.

Results and Benefits:

By leveraging FoxTech’s ASSURE service, the client achieved the following results:

1. Cyber Essentials Certification: The client successfully met the Cyber Essentials requirements, demonstrating their commitment to cybersecurity and enabling them to bid for government contracts confidently.

2. Increased Customer Trust: The client’s Cyber Essentials certification reassured their existing customers and prospects that their sensitive data and systems were protected.
