Ensuring the security of this data has always been a top priority, and we are proud to announce that, as part of the Mackman Group—alongside our sister divisions, Mackman Branding & Marketing and Red Kite HR Services—we have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.

What Is Cyber Essentials Certification?

Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed certification that confirms our systems and processes meet stringent security standards, protecting against the most common cyber threats. This achievement formalises our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of cybersecurity for our clients.

"Achieving Cyber Essentials is vital for us at Mackman Research. It reinforces the robust security measures we already have in place and demonstrates our proactive approach to protecting the client data we regularly handle."
