Cyber Essentials Plus Renewed for Q3 — Secured by Stock Services

We’re pleased to confirm that Q3 Services Group of companies has successfully renewed its Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation for 2025, with Stock Services Limited once again leading the process.


This renewal reflects Q3’s continued commitment to cybersecurity excellence and Stock Services’ role as the trusted guardian of its technology ecosystem.

Strategic Oversight and Execution


As Q3’s operations evolve, so do the complexities of its IT environment. Stock Services provides continuous oversight of Q3’s technology landscape—ensuring systems, devices, and processes remain aligned with the latest security standards.


This year’s renewal involved:

  • Coordinating with IASME for assessment and certification.
  • Addressing vulnerabilities, including TLS protocol updates and mobile device compliance.
  • Managing endpoint and network security documentation for cyber insurance and audit readiness.


Beyond the Tick Box: A Year-Round Commitment


At Stock Services, cybersecurity is not a once-a-year tick box exercise. We ensure that compliance and standards are continuously met through:

  • Ongoing training and development of Q3 staff.
  • Regular supplier engagement and technical reviews.
  • Proactive risk management and incident planning.


Looking Ahead


  • Future initiatives include:
  • Introducing Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) for enhanced internet access control.
  • Expanding endpoint protection and perimeter controls.
  • Formalising breach response protocols and strengthening incident readiness.

Continued Partnership


Stock Services remains embedded in Q3’s digital strategy—delivering technical assurance, governance, and resilience every step of the way.


We look forward to another year of partnership, protection, and progress.
