Hive Projects Achieves Cyber Security Accreditation to Strengthen Digital Assurance Across Capital Schemes

Hive Projects has officially secured cyber skills accreditation, ensuring our commitment to data security, risk management, and operational resilience across all client schemes.

As project and programme managers delivering major developments across the North of England, protecting sensitive project data is as crucial as managing quality, cost, and time on site. This accreditation independently verifies that our internal governance, IT infrastructure, and team capabilities meet recognised cybersecurity standards.

What This Means for Our Projects

  • Data Protection: Upgraded security controls around sensitive commercial data, business cases, and procurement documentation.
  • Public Sector Alignment: Full compliance with the stringent cybersecurity and information governance standards required by our public sector and healthcare clients.
  • Team Readiness: Active training and upskilling across our teams to embed proactive digital behaviours into everyday workflows.
  • Secure Collaboration: our digital systems ensure safe, seamless collaboration between our project teams, client groups, and supply chains.

Cyber skills accreditation, typically aligned with UK frameworks like Cyber Essentials or NCSC-backed training standards, verifies that an organisation and its workforce possess the practical tools, technical controls, and operational hygiene required to safeguard systems and sensitive data.

What Cyber Skills Accreditation Covers

  • System Defences: Technical checks across firewalls, user access controls, patch management, and device security to block internet-based threats.
  • Workforce Capability: Training staff to recognise phishing, handle client data securely, and maintain digital hygiene across day-to-day project delivery.
  • Information Governance: Formalising procedures for data management, remote working, and rapid incident response.

Why It Matters for Capital Delivery

In sectors like the NHS, higher education, and local government, cyber assurance is essential. Achieving it gives our public sector clients confidence that commercial documentation, scheme data, and sensitive project information remain protected from strategy through to completion.
