Atlanticus Digital, one of Ireland’s leading HubSpot and AI-driven marketing consultancies, is proud to announce that it has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, following its successful completion of both Cyber Essentials and ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) registration earlier this year.
This latest, independently verified certification reinforces Atlanticus Digital’s ongoing commitment to data protection, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that clients’ information is handled with the highest possible level of security and care.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK Government-backed scheme that demonstrates robust protection against the most common types of cyber threats. The “Plus” standard goes beyond a self-assessment by requiring a hands-on technical audit conducted by an accredited external assessor, Robert Kneller, verifying that technical controls are properly implemented.
“Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus is a key milestone for Atlanticus Digital and reflects our dedication to the highest standards of cybersecurity and client trust,” said Niall Parfitt, Founder & CEO of Atlanticus Digital. “As a HubSpot Platinum Partner working with organisations across the public, private, and third sectors, we know how critical it is to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance with evolving digital regulations.”
“Alongside our Cyber Essentials (certified September 2025) and ICO registration (valid until November 2025), this certification underpins our governance, reinforces our B Corp ambitions, and assures clients that their data is protected by verified, best-practice security controls,” he added.
The certification process covered multiple areas of Atlanticus Digital’s IT environment — including device management, network configuration, access controls, and software patching — ensuring resilience against phishing, malware, and ransomware threats. This achievement also complements the company’s broader commitment to ethical AI adoption, digital governance, and sustainable business practices.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK Government-backed certification scheme, supported by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), designed to help organisations of all sizes protect themselves from common cyberattacks. The “Plus” level includes an independent technical assessment to verify that security controls are properly implemented.
