Good Business CharterThese accreditations recognise two commitments at the heart of Simpliy—protecting the information and systems entrusted to us, and building a business that acts fairly and responsibly.
Cyber Essentials
Strengthening our cybersecurity.
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against the most common types of cyberattack.
To become certified, businesses must demonstrate that appropriate protections are in place across five technical areas:
- Firewalls
- Secure configuration
- Security update management
- User access control
- Malware protection
Cybersecurity affects every organisation, regardless of its size. Our clients and partners trust us to use technology responsibly, protect access to information and maintain secure ways of working.
Cyber Essentials certification provides clear assurance that we have implemented recognised protections across our organisation. It also gives us a strong foundation from which to keep improving as risks, systems and ways of working evolve.
Certification does not mean treating cybersecurity as a completed task. It means maintaining the controls, reviewing our approach and continuing to make security part of our everyday decisions.
Good Business Charter
Recognised as a responsible business.
We have also become accredited by the Good Business Charter, which recognises responsible business behaviour across 10 components.
These cover the following areas:
- Real Living Wage
- Fairer hours and contracts
- Employee wellbeing
- Employee representation
- Equality, diversity and inclusion
- Environmental responsibility
- Paying fair tax
- Commitment to customers
- Ethical sourcing
- Prompt payment to suppliers
The accreditation matters to us because responsible business is about much more than delivering a good product or service. It is also about how people are treated, how decisions are made and whether an organisation contributes positively to those around it.

Our principles
What good business means to us at Simpliy.
These principles have shaped Simpliy from the beginning. Good Business Charter accreditation provides a recognised framework through which we can demonstrate them and remain accountable to them.
- Treating employees, customers and suppliers fairly
- Communicating openly and honestly
- Offering clear and transparent services
- Listening to feedback and acting on it
- Protecting the information entrusted to us
- Paying suppliers promptly
- Making responsible purchasing and environmental decisions
- Building relationships for the long term
One shared purpose
Two accreditations, one shared purpose.
Cyber Essentials and the Good Business Charter focus on different areas, but they share an important theme: trust.
People should be able to trust that we take security seriously. They should also be able to trust that we will behave fairly, communicate clearly and do what we say we will do.
We are proud of both achievements, but we see them as commitments rather than finishing lines. As Simpliy grows, we will continue investing in our security, supporting our people, listening to our customers and making responsible decisions.
That is what good business means to us.
