Protecting your business with proven, recognised security standards

At FUTERA, we are proud to be Cyber Essentials Plus certified and we guide businesses through the full certification process so they can achieve the same level of assurance. For SMEs who may not have in house security specialists, Cyber Essentials provides a clear, structured approach to improving resilience. Our team helps you understand what is required, implement the right controls and build the processes to maintain certification year after year.

What cyber essentials is and why it matters

Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that helps organisations defend against the most common cyber threats. It focuses on practical controls that create a strong baseline of security across your devices, systems and users.

For many businesses, certification is now a requirement when working with public sector organisations or supply chains with strict security expectations. Even when it is not mandatory, it provides reassurance to customers, partners and stakeholders that you take security seriously.

Cyber Essentials Plus takes this assurance further. Independent testing verifies that your controls are working in practice, not just in policy documents. It’s the highest level of trust for an SME looking to strengthen its security posture without the overhead of enterprise level frameworks.

Steve GwilliamBusiness Owner

“FUTERA’s service from start to finish was impeccable, they kept you up to date with all the steps along the way. The installation technician on the day of install knew his product inside out. I managed to get it all configured to our Active Directory without any issues. Keep up the good work!”

“
MedtronicI.T. Manager

“From the first contact, a number of years ago through to now, the service we’ve received from FUTERA has been first-rate. They supply and manage 650+ remote workers with a managed print service ensuring they always have access to support and consumables whenever they need it. It’s taken a big overhead away from our I.T. department and saved us a lot of money in the process too.”

“
MOD PartnerI.T. Supplier Manager

“FUTERA took over from our previous MPS supplier and have been a revelation. They look after our sites all over the country, some in extremely remote locations and provide an excellent service. We have a heavy focus on security and they always adhere to our processes. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any security-conscious organisation!”

“
Nuffield HealthI.T. Director

“We have worked with FUTERA over the last 4 years to transform our ageing and disparate printer estate. We’ve consolidated down from 8 or 9 suppliers to FUTERA and couldn’t be happier with our choice. They have been incredible auditing our 134 UK locations and deploying our choice of new hardware and secure printing solution, whilst providing continual support services.”

“
Clifford FernandesSchool I.T. Director

“I’m so impressed with the features, quality and cost of my new print solution for my school. Just loving the new features in papercut, full support for office 365 and all the booklet features. The installation was so smooth. Colin took care of everything for me, he helped me plan out a great solution, had his team install them all and even provided a team of trainers for my staff. I’ve got the best print solution now!”

“

The installation was trouble free due their careful pre-planning with little disturbance to Practice staff and professionally undertaken. Maintenance has also been trouble free and toner deliveries received in a timely manner. Highly recommend.”

Level DistortionManager

“I have been dealing with FUTERA for many years now and have taken them from company to company with me, I trust them to tell me the best solution for the current scenario, explaining all the relevant pro’s & con’s along the way. I have dealt with delivery drivers, installation engineer’s and account managers (to name a few) and they are all very courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, professional and VERY willing to help.”

“
Rebecca Slattery-KavanaghManager

“FUTERA made the process of converting to a managed print service unbelievably painless and smooth. Meetings were concise and as brief as needed, communication excellent, potential cost and time savings to the practice significant and everything was extremely professional. On the two days where old printers were disconnected and new printers installed everything went extremely smoothly.”
