We’re thrilled to share that QMT Commercial has officially achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification! But what does that mean – and why should you care?
Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed cybersecurity standard that goes far beyond basic compliance. It involves rigorous, hands-on testing by independent experts to ensure our systems are resilient against real-world cyber threats. It’s not just a checklist – it’s a deep dive into how well we protect your data and how seriously we take your trust.
What it means for our customers
As a customer, this certification is a powerful reassurance. It means:
- Your personal information is guarded by robust, government-recognised security protocols
- Our systems are externally tested and verified, not just self-assessed
- We’re transparent and accountable in how we handle your data
Whether you’re requesting a quote, updating your policy or simply browsing our services, you can trust that your data is safe with us. Security isn’t just a feature – it’s our foundation. And in an increasingly digital world, it’s our priority.
What it means for our insurance partners
Cyber Essentials Plus also strengthens our position as a trusted broker for leading insurers. Our partners rely on us to represent their products with professionalism, reliability and integrity – and that includes how we manage and protect sensitive data.
By meeting the highest cybersecurity standards, we offer insurers:
- Confidence that their products are handled securely and professionally
- Assurance that customer data is protected throughout the broker journey
- A resilient, compliant partner in a fast-evolving digital insurance landscape
This certification reinforces our commitment to being a dependable link between insurers and customers, built on trust, transparency and robust digital infrastructure.
Why it sets us apart
Despite the growing importance of cybersecurity, only around 40,000 UK organisations have achieved Cyber Essentials certification and just a fraction of those hold the more advanced Cyber Essentials Plus. With over 5.5 million businesses in the UK, this places QMT Commercial among a select group of organisations that are proactively defending against cyber threats and prioritising data protection at every level.
Cyber Essentials Plus isn’t just a badge – it’s a promise. A promise to our customers, our partners and ourselves that we will continue investing in security, transparency and trust.
