Bluepoint Technologies Ltd, a leading data infrastructure specialist based in Colchester, UK, is proud to announce that it has retained its CyberEssentials certification for the fifth year in a row. This significant milestone underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to robust cybersecurity practices and its dedication to safeguarding client data in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
A Legacy of Cybersecurity Excellence
Bluepoint Technologies, renowned for delivering international excellence in structured data cabling, network consultancy, and IT infrastructure services, has consistently prioritised cybersecurity as a cornerstone of its operations. The CyberEssentials scheme, backed by the UK government and managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), sets a baseline standard for organisations to protect against common cyber threats. By achieving this certification annually since 2021, Bluepoint demonstrates its adherence to rigorous cybersecurity protocols, offering clients peace of mind that their data is protected against a wide range of cyber-attacks.
The company first earned CyberEssentials accreditation in 2021 and has since maintained compliance through annual assessments, with each certification valid for 12 months. This fifth consecutive year of certification, achieved in 2025, highlights Bluepoint’s proactive approach to staying ahead of evolving cyber threats, ensuring that its defences remain effective and aligned with industry best practices.
Why CyberEssentials Matters
The CyberEssentials certification is more than a badge of honour; it represents a comprehensive framework for cybersecurity. The scheme focuses on five key technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. By adhering to these standards, Bluepoint ensures that its systems are fortified against common vulnerabilities, such as phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorised access.
For clients, this certification translates to tangible benefits. As noted by industry experts, CyberEssentials certification enhances an organisation’s competitive advantage by demonstrating a serious commitment to data protection. It also aligns with legal and regulatory requirements, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), helping Bluepoint maintain compliance while fostering trust with its international portfolio of clients across more than 60 countries.
Kathryn Aves, Managing Director of Bluepoint Technologies, emphasised the importance of this achievement: “Retaining CyberEssentials certification for the fifth year is a testament to our team’s dedication to cybersecurity. In today’s digital age, protecting our clients’ data is non-negotiable. This milestone reinforces our position as a trusted partner in delivering secure, high-performance data infrastructure solutions.”
A Broader Commitment to Security and Excellence
Bluepoint’s cybersecurity efforts extend beyond CyberEssentials. The company employs a team of highly qualified engineers and project managers, many of whom hold advanced security clearances. This enables Bluepoint to work on high-security sites, including UK MOD and government facilities, where stringent security measures are paramount.
In addition to its cybersecurity credentials, Bluepoint invests heavily in professional development, partnering with CNet Training to ensure its team remains up to date with the latest standards and installation techniques. The company also holds accreditations such as NQA ISO 9001:2015 and Alcumus SafeContractor, further solidifying its reputation for quality and reliability.
Bluepoint’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement complements its technical achievements. The company has earned an EcoVadis Sustainability Rating and supports local initiatives, such as charity donations and partnerships. These efforts reflect Bluepoint’s holistic approach to corporate responsibility, balancing technical excellence with social impact.

The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, with emerging threats such as those posed by cloud services, IoT devices, and remote working environments. Bluepoint is well-positioned to adapt, leveraging its expertise and partnerships with leading manufacturers to deliver innovative, secure solutions.
The company’s ongoing investment in training, technology, and certifications ensures that it will continue to meet the needs of its clients while maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity.
