ATFX Connect, the institutional arm of ATFX, has successfully obtained the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, 

underscoring its dedication to a secure IT infrastructure and stringent cybersecurity measures.

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government-backed certification that requires an independent, hands-on technical 

assessment to verify an organization’s cyber defences against common threats such as malware, phishing, and 

hacking attempts. Administered by IASME, it represents a higher level of security assurance compared to the 

standard Cyber Essentials.

Issued by Bulletproof and verified by IASME, this certification signifies that ATFX Connect’s cyber defences were 

rigorously tested and met industry standards against commodity-based cyber threats. The assessment process 

evaluated key security measures, including firewall configurations, access controls, malware protection, and system 

patching, ensuring compliance with best practices in cybersecurity.

For institutional clients, cybersecurity is critical to trust and operational integrity. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus 

demonstrates ATFX Connect’s commitment to protecting client data, mitigating cyber risks, and maintaining a secure 

trading infrastructure.

In the competitive landscape of institutional trading, robust cybersecurity measures are a key differentiator. ATFX 

Connect’s attainment of the Cyber Essentials Plus certification not only meets industry standards but also sets it apart 

from competitors, showcasing its proactive approach to safeguarding client interests.

As cybersecurity threats evolve, ATFX Connect remains dedicated to enhancing its security framework, ensuring 

compliance with industry standards, and providing a resilient and secure platform for institutional clients.
