As of 11th March 2021, Awen Collective has received the “Cybersecurity Made in Europe” mark after meeting the requirements outlined by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO).
The label is issued across Europe somewhat geographically via ECSO Authorised partners. Our issuer was Cyber Wales CIC, which Awen has been a member of since our very earliest days as a business.
The requirements include ensuring compliance to the “Indispensable baseline security requirements for the secure ICT products and services” by ENISA, which we easily achieved thanks to our existing CyberEssentials+ certification and our in-depth expertise around the NIS Directive, the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), ISO 27001 and IEC 62443.
This ECSO label is very important for us, as we have always considered ourselves as being Made in Wales, Made in Britain and Made in Europe. Every single line of code in our products is developed by us here in Wales, and we are dedicated to making society safer by increasing the cyber resiliency of our critical national infrastructures (and other industrial sectors) in Wales, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, right across Europe and internationally.
The ECSO label is fast becoming a mark of both quality and trust - and we are honoured and very pleased to be one of the first to have received it.
