scheme helps businesses minimise the risk of a cyber attack and demonstrates they are taking the measures
needed to protect themselves and their client data. To secure the certification, Innes England was
measured against five key controls that, when implemented correctly, can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks. Tim Garratt, Managing Director at Innes England, said:

understand the local economy, geography and demographics which is really important. Pride Park is the premium business centre in the Midlands, so it made absolute sense to position Next Steps HR here.”
