Cyber Security Isn’t An Afterthought
In recent weeks, headlines reported the struggles seen by major UK businesses such as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Marks & Spencer (M&S) suffering from cyberattacks. The costs can be devastating, disruption to operations, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust.
At Uniware, we want our clients to know that cybersecurity isn’t an afterthought – it’s at the heart of everything we do. As part of a global group of SaaS companies, we pool resources, expertise, and technology to go beyond compliance and deliver security you can rely on.
Globally Recognised Standards
Many businesses aim to meet minimum regulatory requirements. At Uniware, we set the bar higher.
ISO 27001: Uniware has been ISO 27001 certified since 2013. This accreditation is the leading international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It helps organisations to systematically protect data.
Cyber Essentials Plus: Since 2019, Uniware has been certified with Cyber Essentials. Then, gaining Cyber Essentials PLUS in 2023. This is the highest level of Cyber Essentials certification, developed by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Ensuring our cybersecurity practices don’t just look good on paper – they work in the real world.
PCI DSS Level 1: Upay Master Merchant Services Accredited: Since 2012 Uniware has been compliant with these standards. This is the highest level of compliance within the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, applicable to organisations that process over 6 million credit card transactions annually.
Independent oversight: Regular audits, penetration tests, and external security scans ensure we don’t just meet standards once – we maintain them continuously.
Giving you peace of mind that sensitive payment data is fully protected. Your business and your customers’ data are handled to the highest levels of security recognised worldwide.
Protecting Your Data At Every Stage
From the moment your data enters our systems, it is encrypted and safeguarded.
• Encryption at rest: Protecting data stored on physical or digital media, this ensures that even if unauthorised access occurs, the data remains unreadable without the decryption key.
• Encryption in transit: secures data while it is being transmitted between two points, such as between a client and a server or across a network, it’s locked and unreadable to outsiders.
• Strict access controls: Only the right people, with the right level of clearance, can access sensitive information. This helps ensure your data is seen only by authorised individuals, protecting its confidentiality, integrity, and security at all times.
You can reassure your own customers that their data is private, safe, and never exposed.
Intelligent Threat Detection
We don’t just build strong walls, we actively patrol them. Threats are spotted and neutralised before they can cause disruption.
• Next-generation firewalls: Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are advanced security solutions that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance threat detection.
• Continuous monitoring: We keep an eye on things around the clock, so if anything suspicious shows up in the network, it’s detected straight away and dealt with before it becomes a problem.
• A vigilant team: Every member of our team undergoes regular security and privacy training.
Cybersecurity is an ongoing journey, not a destination. At Uniware, we invest continuously in technology, processes, and people to stay ahead of evolving threats.
