We help Microsoft-centric enterprises fully adopt the cloud & adapt to new ways of working.

ACCREDITATION ANNOUNCEMENT 2024

We are pleased to announce that Essential Computing has once again, been approved to join the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register (JOSCAR).

The JOSCAR Registration Mark is valued by companies in the Aerospace, Defence, Security & Space sectors as it reduces the time, expense, and resources required to identify suppliers that are “fit for business”.

To be accredited with this mark Essential has undertaken and passed a series of assessments that focus on our capability, accreditations, information security practices, corporate social responsibility, health and safety standards, financial history, ethical operations and more.

As well as improving efficiency, JOSCAR membership ensures that our existing and future clients can be confident in Essential’s solutions and services, and that we are able to deliver large-scale projects with high standards of security and protection for their systems and data.

“We are delighted to attain the JOSCAR accreditation as it demonstrates our many decades of striving to deliver the highest quality software and services to critical industries like Aerospace, Defence and Security.  Continuous review is increasingly important in the delivery of cloud-based solutions and services, where strong security and rigorous procedures are vital.”

Dave Kellett, Technical Director, Essential
