🌟 Customer Success Story: Enhancing Cyber Resilience in Government 🌟 UBDS Digital is proud to share a significant milestone in our journey towards enhancing cybersecurity for our clients. We recently partnered with a central government department to implement the new GovAssure cyber security assurance approach, one of the first in the government sector to do so. Facing the challenges of complexity, capacity, and the need for objectivity, the organisation turned to UBDS Digital to ensure a seamless and successful transition from the previous Departmental Security Health Check (DSHC) to GovAssure. Our team worked diligently to adopt this innovative approach across the department and its arm’s length bodies (ALBs), enhancing their cyber security resilience.

At UBDS Digital, we believe that the skills and experience of older workers are vital to overcoming today’s labour and skills shortages, and they are crucial in fostering innovation and driving our business forward. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where all employees can flourish, regardless of age.
