BCR Wales Achieves Cyber Essentials Certification
Strengthening Our Commitment to Secure, Reliable Business Technology
We’re delighted to announce that BCR Wales is now Cyber Essentials certified, marking another important step in our commitment to providing professional and secure technology solutions to our customers. As a Cyber Essentials certified EPOS provider, we remain committed to maintaining the highest security standards.
Our certification was awarded under the Cyber Essentials Willow scheme on 14 August 2026, with the scope covering the whole BCR Wales organisation.
Achieving the certification required considerable work behind the scenes, but it's an important investment in both our business and the customers we support.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed cyber security certification designed to demonstrate that an organisation has key technical controls in place to help protect against common online threats.
For BCR Wales, achieving certification demonstrates that we have reviewed and strengthened our approach across important areas of cyber security, including:
● Device security
● Software updates
● Access control
● Malware protection
● Firewalls
● Cloud services
Cyber security is becoming increasingly important for businesses of every size, particularly as the technology we rely on becomes more connected.
Why Does This Matter to Our EPOS Customers?
As an EPOS and business technology provider, the systems we supply and support can play a central role in our customers' everyday operations. Choosing a Cyber Essentials certified EPOS provider means additional confidence for your organisation.
Modern EPOS environments can include tills, back-office access, cloud services, remote support tools and business data, making good cyber security practices an increasingly important consideration when choosing a technology provider.
Our Cyber Essentials certification provides additional reassurance that BCR Wales takes the security of our own systems, devices and support processes seriously. For our customers, this means:
● Greater confidence when trusting BCR Wales with EPOS systems and support
● Evidence that we follow recognised cyber security standards
● Stronger protection around our own systems, devices and remote support processes
● Greater readiness to work within larger organisations and regulated environments
● Reassurance that security is part of how we operate, rather than an afterthought
Supporting Businesses of All Sizes
Cyber Essentials also strengthens our ability to work with organisations where recognised cyber security standards form an important part of the supply chain.
This includes opportunities within healthcare, education, councils, the wider public sector and other regulated environments, alongside the independent hospitality, retail and leisure businesses we already support. In fact, many public sector bodies require you to work with a Cyber Essentials certified EPOS provider.
For organisations considering a new EPOS provider, this provides another reason to choose BCR Wales with confidence.
Security Alongside Service & Support
Technology continues to evolve, and EPOS is no exception. Cloud-based back-office systems, remote support and increasingly connected business technology offer significant benefits, but they also make it important for technology providers to continually review how their own systems are protected.
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates our commitment to doing exactly that. It sits alongside the service and support our customers already expect from BCR Wales, helping us provide technology solutions that are not only reliable and effective, but backed by a business that takes cyber security seriously. Moreover, partnering with a Cyber Essentials certified EPOS provider is a smart, future-proofed choice.
Moving Forward with Confidence
We're extremely proud to have achieved Cyber Essentials certification across our whole organisation.
It represents a significant amount of work behind the scenes and another important investment in the future of BCR Wales.
Most importantly, it gives our existing and future customers additional confidence in choosing BCR Wales as their EPOS and technology partner.
Reliable technology. Professional support. Security taken seriously.
