Grey Matter Achieves Cyber Essentials and ISO 9001 Certifications
News|by Leanne Bevan|13 January 2025
We are pleased to announce that we have achieved our Cyber Essentials and ISO 9001 certifications for another year.
We want to do our due diligence as much as possible. And we can’t sell and promote the importance of cyber security if we don’t practice what we preach. These certifications will help us to make sure we’re doing both of these things.
What are Cyber Essentials and ISO 9001?
Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme that helps keep our own and our clients’ data safe from cyber-attacks. The NCSC recommends Cyber Essentials as the minimum standard of cyber security for all organisations.
ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is a globally recognised standard for quality management. It helps us improve our performance, meet customer expectations and demonstrate our commitment to quality. Its requirements define how to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a quality management system (QMS).
