Administered by IASME and issued by Bulletproof, this certification signifies that ATFX Connect's cyber defences have been rigorously tested and met industry standards against commodity-based cyber threats.
The assessment process evaluated key security measures, including firewall configurations, access controls, malware protection, and system patching, ensuring compliance with best practices in cybersecurity. This rigorous testing process is designed to verify an organization's ability to detect and respond to cyber threats effectively.
For institutional clients, cybersecurity is critical to trust and operational integrity. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates ATFX Connect's dedication to protecting client data, mitigating cyber risks, and maintaining a secure trading infrastructure.
