CobbleStone Software achieves Cyber Essentials certification
CobbleStone Software, a leading provider of contract lifecycle management (CLM) and contract artificial intelligence solutions, has recently achieved UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials certification, further solidifying its commitment to cybersecurity excellence.
This certification, which is annually renewable, assesses organizations against five key technical control areas: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control, and malware protection. The program provides independent validation that CobbleStone has implemented foundational cybersecurity controls to help safeguard its systems, data, and operations.
CobbleStone completed a comprehensive assessment of its in-scope networks, devices, user accounts, cloud services, and security controls. This evaluation was independently reviewed by a qualified Cyber Essentials assessor, confirming that the company has met the program's requirements. Matthew Friebis, Chief Information Officer of CobbleStone Software, expressed the company's dedication to security, stating, "Security and trust are foundational to everything we do at CobbleStone. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a testament to our ongoing commitment to maintaining strong security practices and providing our customers with confidence in the systems and technologies they rely on every day."
The certification adds to CobbleStone's robust security program, which includes vulnerability management, timely security updates, multi-factor authentication (MFA), endpoint protection, system hardening, ongoing security monitoring, and strict access controls designed to protect customer and organizational data.
