We are delighted to announce that The Printed Word has gained it's cyber essentials certification.

A cyber essentials certificate is a government backed scheme that helps organisations to protect themselves against the risk of common cyber threats. It comes as no surprise to our team, that we have passed our cyber essentials assessment with flying colours. This certificate provides our team and our customers peace of mind that our defences will protect us against the majority of cyber attacks currently prowling the internet.
