SK Tes, a global leader in IT asset disposition (ITAD), e-waste, and battery recycling solutions, is proud to announce that our sites in Glasgow and Birmingham have achieved the prestigious Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Certification, respectively. This milestone underscores our commitment to cybersecurity and the protection of our customers' data.

Cyber Essentials certification complements our existing ISO27001 certification, further solidifying our commitment to providing the highest level of security.
