Understanding how we maintain our certification through rigorous external evaluation

We engage accredited Cyber Essentials certification bodies who are independent from Paytia and authorized by the UK government to conduct assessments.

External auditors conduct hands-on vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and configuration reviews across all five security control areas.

Any identified security gaps are addressed immediately, with re-testing conducted to verify successful remediation before certification is awarded.

Certification Renewal Upon successful completion, our certification is renewed for another year, providing continuous assurance of our security posture to all stakeholders.
