Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement



1. Opening Statement from Management

At Cybervio Ltd, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our business operations and supply chains are entirely free from modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and any form of human exploitation.

As a veteran-owned company and proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, integrity, duty, and respect are at the core of our culture. We hold a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, and we expect the same rigorous ethical standards from our business partners, contractors, and suppliers.


2. About Our Business and Supply Chains

Cybervio Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom (Company Number: 12247820), with its registered office in Corsham, Wiltshire. We operate primarily as an Information Technology and Cybersecurity Consultancy, specialising in:

 

  • Cyber Security Assurance & Risk Assessments
  • Vulnerability Management
  • Security Architecture & Monitoring
  • Incident Response (IR)
  • Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)
  • ISO27001 Expertise and Microsoft Partner Services


Given the professional and digital nature of our services, our supply chains are relatively short and predominantly limited to technology providers. They primarily include:


  • Global software vendors and cloud infrastructure providers (e.g., Microsoft).
  • Subcontracted, highly skilled IT and cybersecurity consultants.
  • Standard office utilities, hardware procurement, and professional support services.


3. Risk Assessment and Management

Because we operate in a highly regulated, professional knowledge sector within the UK, we assess the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct operations as low.

However, we recognise that the technology sector relies heavily on global hardware supply chains (such as electronic components and server manufacturing) and outsourced support services, which carry inherent risks. We manage these risks by:


  • Vetting any external consultants or sub-contractors to ensure fair pay and legal working rights in the UK.
  • Prioritising partnerships with globally recognised technology firms that publish their own verified anti-slavery declarations.
  • Remaining vigilant across our localised supply chain (e.g., office maintenance, hardware delivery).


4. Our Anti-Slavery Policies

We operate several internal mechanisms to ensure transparency and ethical conduct:

  • Whistleblowing Culture: We encourage an open, transparent environment where employees, partners, and contractors can raise concerns about any wrongdoing or unethical behavior—including human rights issues—without fear of retaliation.
  • Recruitment and Right to Work: We perform thorough pre-employment checks, including verifying identities, nationalities, and legal rights to work in the UK, ensuring that no employee or contractor is subjected to exploitation.
  • Fair Compensation: We ensure all direct staff receive fair compensation that complies with or exceeds statutory UK wage regulations.


5. Due Diligence for Suppliers and Partners

We expect our suppliers to adhere to high ethical values. When engaging with new partners or renewing contracts, Cybervio Ltd aims to:

  1. Identify and assess potential risk areas in our local supply network.
  2. Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring by working with reputable, established vendors.
  3. Review supplier policies wherever appropriate to verify their commitment to anti-slavery practices.


6. Training and Awareness

To maintain a high level of understanding regarding the risks of modern slavery in our business and supply chains, we provide baseline awareness to our staff. Team members are encouraged to look out for signs of exploitation, particularly when coordinating external logistics, physical hardware installations, or secondary vendor relationships.


7. Performance and Compliance

We review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, reflective of our business growth, and aligned with legal best practices in the United Kingdom.
