AXLR8 have now completed our audit for 2022-3. We are spending increasing amounts on cyber security every year. This puts AXLR8 ahead of most competitors in the markets in which we supply and support our systems.

The Journey

We would love to report that we flew through but let’s just say but the pre-audits were very useful. We are a great deal more secure again this year as a result. It will be even tougher next year as IASME are enhancing the standards. The bar is getting higher.

However, it does not just stop at the audit pass, like you we are bringing on new people and machines and constantly changing our networks for expansion. That means we need the changes to be within cyber security guidelines and we need to maintain constant vigilance with regular user tests and evidence software upgrades and security updates are happening.

Once again, we would like to thank RightCue Assurance for the audit and helpful guidance for maintaining standards in preparation for the tougher new audit in 2024.

Why should I care?

You would be concerned in a close proximity of someone coughing without putting their hand over their mouth or buying a meal in a restaurant where the chef did not wash their hands. You should be even more worried if you have a software supplier – especially as SaaS supplier – who does not maintain standards of cyber security that are audited by a reputable body. How could you trust them with your private data and mission critical system?
