Kingdom Housing’s security strategy focused on:
- Strategic risk management;
- Leveraging cloud solutions from world-class IT security providers;
- Managing compliance with NCSC guidelines and ISO standards;

Winning Housing Technology’s silver award for cyber security is a tremendous achievement, given how many housing providers there are in the UK. Security is knowing your home and all of its assets inside-out, hence we’ve taken a ‘belts and braces’ approach when it comes to security.
Threats are ever-changing and tying in intelligent systems helps us to manage our risks better. Our commitment to keeping our systems accessible, secure and compliant for our customers and our colleagues guides the work we do and helps us to deliver an exceptional digital customer experience around the clock.
