We've got some exciting news...
I'm incredibly proud to share that
Illuminate IT has become the first Managed Service Provider (MSP) in Scotland to achieve the Assurix Trustmark.
It's a huge milestone for our team, but more importantly, it's great news for every business that relies on technology to keep operating, serving customers and protecting sensitive information.
For years, choosing an IT provider has often come down to websites, recommendations and promises and the challenge is that almost every IT company says they're proactive, secure and reliable.
Now there's independent proof.
What is the Assurix Trustmark?
The
Assurix Trustmark has been created to help businesses identify IT providers that genuinely operate to the highest standards of cyber security, operational excellence and service delivery.
Unlike traditional accreditations that assess a business at one moment in time, Assurix continuously verifies performance using live operational evidence gathered directly from the systems MSPs use every day. It measures
64 independent controls covering cyber security, governance, operational maturity and business resilience.
That means businesses aren't relying on marketing claims or annual audits - they're relying on evidence.
Why this matters to Scottish businesses
Technology is now at the heart of almost every organisation.
Whether you're a charity, professional services firm, manufacturer or growing SME, your IT provider has access to your systems, your data and often your entire business operation and that's a huge responsibility.
We believe businesses shouldn't have to guess whether their IT provider is doing the right things behind the scenes.
The Assurix Trustmark gives organisations greater confidence that the people looking after their technology have independently demonstrated the right processes, security controls and operational maturity to support and protect their business.

A first for Scotland
Becoming
the first MSP in Scotland to achieve the Assurix Trustmark is about demonstrating that everything we've been saying for years about proactive support, cyber resilience and continual improvement can now be independently verified.
Amanda Stewart, Founder and CTO, said:
"For too long, businesses have had to choose an IT provider based on websites, recommendations and promises. The reality is that every MSP says they're secure and every MSP says they provide great service.
Assurix changes that. It gives organisations independent evidence that their IT partner is operating to consistently high standards.
Becoming Scotland's first Assurix Trustmarked MSP is an important milestone, not just for Illuminate, but for businesses across Scotland looking for an IT partner they can genuinely trust."
