Cyber Essentials Plus

We design highly-visible secure buildings around the world. Our cyber security may be invisible, but it's proven effective.

McBains has been awarded Cyber Essentials Plus certification, covering all company servers, PCs, laptops and company mobile devices.

Cyber Essentials helps prevent the vast majority of cyber attacks. The increasing frequency of cyber security breaches demonstrates the importance of protecting an organisation against cyber threats. Even a simple virus or piece of malware could result in loss of company and client data, disrupt cashflow and take up staff time.

We achieved accreditation in under a week, with the GAP analysis showing no shortcomings, proving that our systems and processes were already very secure - a confirmation of our established approach.

Cyber Essentials is a government-endorsed standard and although it is a mandatory requirement for suppliers of Government contracts, including CCS, it also provides reassurance to private sector clients too.

Cyber Essentials Plus certification requires an organisation to complete a self-assessment questionnaire, with responses independently reviewed by an external certifying body, together with tests of the systems carried out by an external certifying body, using a range of tools and techniques including a penetration test from both outside and inside the firm’s firewall.

You can't see all the things we do to operate in the better way.

ISO 19650

McBains has successfully achieved ISO 19650 certification, which recognises the high standards of organisation and digitisation that we operate in relation to our BIM processes, and has successfully passed both Stages 1 and 2 of the ISO 19650 audit.

ISO 19650 is the internationally-recognised standard for managing information over the whole life-cycle of a built asset using BIM, and supersedes the BS 1192 and PAS 1192 standards.

As an early adopter of BIM, McBains has been aligning to PAS 1192 standards for many years; achieving BIM Level 2 certification back in 2016.

McBains has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

We are also sustainability verified. Sustainability verification is an extension of the SafeContractor health and safety audit that demonstrates our commitment to best practice and has been built to include the common question sets within PAS91.
