Advent IM Recognised as Cyber Security Solution Supplier to HM

Government
Holistic Security Consultancy and member of the Malvern Cyber Security Cluster, Advent IM
Ltd, have today announced their confirmed status as Cyber Security Solution suppliers to HM
Government.
Advent IM today announced their confirmed status as Cyber Security Solution providers to
HM Government, following their longstanding and successful supplier relationships with
several government departments. The scheme is administrated by the Department for
Business, Innovation & Skills and enables certified cyber security suppliers to Government to
be able to publicise the fact. This offers a distinct advantage to those businesses, enables the
Governments plan to work with more SMEs and also supports the export of UK cyber security
expertise.
Advent IM Director, Julia McCarron said, The supply of specialist IA consultancy services to
the UK Government is the foundation upon which Advent IM was built and remains a very
important sector for us. As an SME we value the relationships we have with HM Government
departments and agencies and being awarded this status is important for our continued
partnership development in this area. Therefore we are delighted that we have been
recognised as an official Cyber Security Solution Provider.
Advent IM joins other members of the Malvern Cyber Security Cluster who have been
recognised for their contribution to HM Government cyber security by joining this scheme.
