Sodick Europe Cyber Essentials Case Study
What do they do?
Manufacturer machinery for the medical sector, aerospace and Formula One racing among others. Warwick based Sodick is the European headquarters of the Sodick Group worldwide. The business operates across Japan, China, Asia, Europe and America. It designs and manufactures EDM (Electrical Discharge Machinery) for use in sectors including aerospace, medical industries and Formula One. The use of electrical discharge for precision engineering tools and equipment provides the highest accuracy in these vital areas.
Sodick has been in business for more than 30 years. It continues to design and develop new technologies to help customers manufacture better products.
Why Cyber Essentials?
Although the manufacturing and design company already had robust systems in place, it wanted to ensure the business was keeping up with the ever changing landscape of cyber security. The manufacturing and design company now has the Cyber Essentials certificate which shows customers, potential customers and suppliers it has been through a rigorous testing and implementation process to ensure its cyber security is the best it can be.
Spokesman Roy Dick:
“Going through the certification process was incredibly helpful. You can’t just rely on what you already have in place and think it won’t happen to your business. Having a Cyber Essentials certificate has become a must when it comes to applying for government contracts too – particularly the bigger ones. You are significantly less likely to be considered without being able to assure them you have been through the process and have the certificate to prove it. “
Zenzero Solutions Cyber Security Expert, Russell Howarth said:
“Cyber Essentials certification is becoming a must have for organisations which want to do business with many government departments nowadays. It shows they take cyber security seriously and gives businesses that additional knowledge and peace of mind to know they are doing all they can to best protect clients’ valuable data. It also demonstrates they have data protection processes in place as required by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).”
