Protected from Real Threats: Helix Earns Cyber Essentials Certification

Cyber Essentials Certified: Securing Mission-Critical Powertrains

Helix has achieved Cyber Essentials certification for 2025—a milestone that signals to our customers, partners, and stakeholders that we take security as seriously as we take performance.

In the industries we serve, cyber security isn’t a checkbox exercise. It’s a fundamental requirement.

Why Cyber Security Matters in Aerospace, Defence, and Mobility

Our electric motors and inverters don’t just power systems. They control them. In aerospace, a compromised control system could mean loss of mission capability. In defence applications, it could mean far worse. In autonomous vehicles and e-mobility, it could mean loss of physical control.

Cyber-attacks on industrial and mobility systems are evolving. They’re becoming more sophisticated, more targeted, and increasingly focused on systems that control physical hardware. Unauthorised access, malware infiltration, unpatched vulnerabilities, misconfigured systems—these aren’t theoretical threats. They happen daily across industrial organisations.

Comanies in aerospace, marine, defence, and automotive sectors know this better than anyone. For them, system failures aren’t just expensive. They can be catastrophic.

What Cyber Essentials Certification Proves

We’ve implemented robust, industry-standard security controls across our organisation. The certification is government-backed and demonstrates that Helix is protected against approximately 80% of known cyber-attacks.

That’s not theoretical. Those are real protections against real threats that target organisations like ours every single day.

A Competitive Advantage—and Peace of Mind

This certification opens doors. It satisfies supply chain security requirements that would otherwise exclude us from certain customers. More importantly, it creates opportunities in defence procurement that uncertified competitors simply cannot access.

However, beyond the commercial advantage, it gives our customers something they need: reassurance. Proof that we’ve done the work. That we understand their security challenges. That we’re protecting not just our systems, but theirs.

Ongoing Commitment

Cyber Essentials certification is annually renewable. That means this isn’t a one-time achievement—it’s a commitment to ongoing assessment and continuous improvement.

As cyber threats evolve and new vulnerabilities emerge, we’ll evolve with them. We’ll maintain and enhance the controls that protect our systems and, ultimately, protect our customers.

That’s what it means to be a trusted partner in industries where security is non-negotiable.
