Strengthening trust, security and confidence for our customers and partners
We are delighted to announce that Orphan Works Hub (OWH) has achieved Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining robust cyber security standards and protecting the information entrusted to us by our users, customers and partners.
As organisations increasingly rely on digital platforms to manage collections, rights information and permissions workflows, security is no longer simply a technical requirement. It is fundamental to building trust and enabling collaboration across the cultural heritage, creative and research sectors.
Why Cyber Essentials Matters
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. The certification verifies that key technical controls and security measures are in place, helping to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience against cyber attacks.
For our customers, Cyber Essentials certification provides additional assurance that Orphan Works Hub takes information security seriously and follows recognised best practice.
Building a Trusted Rights Clearance Infrastructure
At Orphan Works Hub, our mission is to make rights clearance simpler, more efficient and more scalable. We work with museums, archives, libraries, universities, publishers and other organisations to help them connect with rights holders, manage rights information and unlock access to cultural and creative works.
As we continue to develop and expand the OWH platform, we recognise that trust is essential. Organisations need confidence that the systems they use to manage rights information are secure, reliable and professionally governed.
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is an important milestone in that journey. It reflects our ongoing investment in good governance, operational resilience and responsible technology.
Looking Ahead
Cyber Essentials certification represents an important achievement, but it is not the end of the journey. Security requires continuous attention, monitoring and improvement.
We will continue to invest in the systems, processes and practices that help ensure Orphan Works Hub remains a secure and trusted platform for managing rights information and facilitating connections between organisations and rights holders.
