Strengthening everyday protection for your data and systems
We’re pleased to confirm that Artifax has successfully renewed its Cyber Essentials certification, the UK government-backed standard for protecting organizations against the most common cyber threats.
Cyber Essentials focuses on practical, day-to-day security controls that help prevent the majority of routine cyber attacks. This recertification demonstrates that Artifax continues to meet these requirements and applies them consistently across our systems.
Why this matters for our clients
Arts and cultural organisations rely on Artifax to manage sensitive operational information — from event schedules and financial data to personal details for staff, artists, and partners. Cyber Essentials provides independent assurance that:
essential security controls are in place to protect against common cyber threats,
access to systems is appropriately restricted and managed,
devices and software are securely configured and kept up to date, and
protections are in place to reduce the risk of malware and unauthorized access.
In practice, this means added confidence that the systems supporting your work are protected by widely recognised, government-endorsed security standards.
How Cyber Essentials fits with our wider approach
Cyber Essentials complements our existing certifications, including ISO 27001, by focusing on baseline protections that matter in everyday use. While ISO standards address broader governance and information security management, Cyber Essentials ensures that core technical safeguards are applied consistently and effectively.
Together, these certifications reflect a layered approach to security — combining strategic oversight with practical controls that reduce real-world risk.
A continued commitment to trust
Recertifying Cyber Essentials is part of our ongoing responsibility to the organizations we support. Security is not a one-off milestone, but a continuous process of review, improvement, and accountability.
We remain committed to protecting your data and maintaining the trust you place in Artifax as a long-term technology partner.
