APM Group

APMG work with UK Government bodies such as CESG and the Dstl, they received their certification body accreditation from UKAS the United Kingdom's National Accreditation Body.

The project involved a UK Government-backed scheme, Cyber Essentials. It’s mandatory for central government contracts which handle certain type of sensitive data, but is encouraged for all organisations in all sectors.

The meaning of the scheme is to significantly reduce that organisation's vulnerability, demonstrate that the organisation meets the technical requirements and has adapted all measures set against basic cyber threats. It provides a proof of the cyber security level of the organisation at the time of assessment and is valid for a certain period of time.

Our work with APMG was to produce the whole Cyber Essentials management system, from the initial point of sale through the website, to the questionnaire review process which runs through multiple assessors for quality control.

The final product

We created all the essential questionnaires on a fully responsive website(s). The questionare needed to have the option to be filled, saved and edited until submission, and have the possibility of multiple levels of comments from different user grups as all filled questionares are to be independently assessed or tested.

We organized different steps of the progress to be consultable during several different steps on the various evaluation buckets.

Finally we created a system to generate white-label ecommerce sites, which would, for example, need to take custom payments and manage their own processes, along with having the option of customised colour schemes.
