Cyber Essentials Plus Renewed for Q3 — Secured by Stock Services

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.
