Kinetic Systems Achieves Cyber Essentials Certification
Kinetic Systems is proud to announce that we have achieved Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cyber security across our business and the services we provide to customers throughout the UK.
As specialists in Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), Building Management Systems (BMS), and intelligent building controls, we understand that cyber security is now a critical consideration for every organisation. Modern buildings rely on interconnected systems to control heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, energy monitoring and plant equipment. Ensuring these systems are managed securely is essential for protecting business operations.
Investing in Our Future
Over the past few years, Kinetic Systems has made significant investments across every aspect of the business to ensure we continue delivering industry-leading solutions and exceptional customer service.
These investments include strengthening our cyber security, expanding our engineering team, enhancing staff training and development, upgrading business systems, and investing in the latest technologies to support the evolving needs of modern buildings.
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification forms part of this wider investment strategy, ensuring our customers benefit from a business that is not only technically capable but also committed to operating securely, professionally and in line with recognised industry best practices.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. It requires businesses to implement recognised security controls covering areas such as:
- Firewalls and secure internet gateways
- Secure configuration of computers and mobile devices
- Access controls and user account management
- Malware protection
- Security updates and patch management
Achieving certification demonstrates that an organisation has taken practical steps to reduce cyber risk and improve resilience against common cyber attacks.
Why Cyber Security Matters for Building Management Systems
Building Management Systems are increasingly connected to corporate networks and remote support platforms, allowing facilities teams and service providers to monitor and manage buildings more efficiently.
While connectivity delivers significant operational and energy-saving benefits, it also makes cyber security an essential part of responsible building management.
At Kinetic Systems, cyber security is considered throughout the lifecycle of every project—from system design and commissioning to ongoing maintenance, remote support and software upgrades.
