I just wanted to write to you to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work from URM’s assessor during the audit process. He demonstrated a fantastic level of knowledge and understanding, truly going above and beyond with the work that he performed, providing guidance in a communicative and enjoyable manner. It was a delight to work with him and I would be very excited to do the same again next year in our Cyber Essentials audit.
