We’re proud to share that Livetec has officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification, a UK government-backed assurance that confirms we are protected against a range of the most common cyber threats. This milestone is more than a badge of honour, it reflects our ongoing commitment to digital resilience, client trust, and secure innovation.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a certification scheme developed by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It sets out a baseline of key security measures that all organisations should have in place to defend against common cyberattacks such as phishing, malware, and password breaches.
The scheme is based on five essential security controls, covering:
- Network Edge
- Secure configuration
- User access control
- Malicious code execution and data exfiltration
- Patch management
Certification is independently verified, providing a clear and credible signal that an organisation takes cybersecurity seriously.
What it means for Livetec
For us at Livetec, achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a strategic move aligned with our mission to provide secure, scalable and innovative biosecurity solutions to the agricultural sector. Here’s what it means for our business, and for the people and partners who trust us:
Proactive cyber resilience
Cyber threats are evolving constantly, but with Cyber Essentials, we’ve ensured that our systems meet a strong standard of defence. It’s a proactive step that keeps our data, our people, and our users safer from attack.
Trust and assurance for clients
Whether you’re a smallholder or a large enterprise, you deserve confidence that the partners you work with take your data seriously. This certification signals that Livetec is a trusted, cyber-aware provider of digital agri-tech solutions.
Commitment to continuous improvement
Cyber Essentials certification must be renewed annually. That means we’re not resting on our laurels. Our team is committed to regular reviews, updates, and improvements to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Support for compliance and growth
Certification is increasingly required in contracts – especially with government and large enterprise partners. It also lays the groundwork for broader information security strategies, allowing us to scale our platform securely as we grow.
Why it matters in agriculture
In a sector where technology adoption is accelerating, so too are the risks. From farm management software to IoT-connected equipment, the agricultural industry is becoming more digitally integrated and therefore more exposed.
At Livetec, we believe cybersecurity should go hand-in-hand with agri-tech innovation. This certification is one of many ways we’re ensuring that our products like Livestock Protect, our digital biosecurity platform, are secure, resilient and future-ready.
Final thoughts
As the digital transformation of agriculture continues, cybersecurity will remain a vital part of business continuity, trust and operational success. Cyber Essentials is just the beginning.
If you’re a Livetec customer, partner or considering working with us, you can rest assured: your data, your farm, and your future are in safe hands.
