Certified & Secure – Sonic Achieves Cyber Essentials

Why It Mattered

Following attendance at DPTRE (Defence Procurement, Research, Technology & Exportability) and a Fit for Defence meeting, it became clear that Cyber Essentials certification was not just a compliance formality, but a fundamental requirement for working within the UK defence supply chain. Without it, opportunities to collaborate, tender for contracts, and expand our reach in the sector would be significantly limited.

What We Did

We immediately began reviewing our internal systems, policies, and controls against Cyber Essentials requirements. This involved working closely with security consultants, updating our IT infrastructure, and ensuring that all processes from patch management to user access controls, were fully aligned with government standards. The Fit for Defence guidance provided a roadmap for what was needed, while our internal team executed the changes to meet and exceed the standard.

What It Means Going Forward

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification positions us as a trusted and compliant partner in the defence ecosystem. It not only validates our cyber resilience but also unlocks new opportunities to engage with the MOD and prime contractors. By demonstrating our commitment to security and compliance, we are now in a position to compete for larger contracts, strengthen our credibility, and build long-term partnerships in the defence sector.

Instead of costly replacements, our customer achieved spotless results through our service proving that regular parts cleaning is cheaper, faster and more efficient than buying new

Client Testimonial

Some words from a Fit for Defence consultant

“Securing Cyber Essentials is a big next step for this organisation. It shows not only their commitment to cybersecurity but also their readiness to work within the defence supply chain at a higher level. This achievement will open doors to significant opportunities in the sector.”

It’s official – Sonic Solutions has outgrown our current home. What began as a small team in three adjoining units has now expanded beyond those walls, marking a huge milestone in our journey.

This moment reflects more than just physical space – it’s a testament to the incredible growth of our team, our services, and the trust our clients place in us every day.

We’re now actively looking for a larger facility that can support our continued momentum. Ideally, we’re hoping to stay close to home – somewhere around Brighouse or Huddersfield – but we’re open to the right opportunity.

If you know of any suitable industrial units or have contacts in the commercial property world, we’d love to hear from you.

Please help us spread the word – onwards and upwards! 🙌💥

At Sonic Solutions, we believe that success isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people.

That’s why hitting a major financial milestone this year wasn’t just a proud business achievement – it was also a moment to reflect, recognise, and celebrate the incredible team behind it all.

As promised, when we hit this goal, we made time for what matters:

✅ More team nights out
✅ More celebrations
✅ More recognition for the people who make it all happen

We kicked things off with a team meal in Mirfield, followed by a high-energy evening at Boom Battle Bar in Leeds. It was a brilliant way to bring everyone together and mark the occasion with laughter, games, and good food.

Team culture is a huge part of what makes Sonic Solutions thrive. When the people around you are motivated, valued, and genuinely enjoy working together, that’s when the real progress happens. 🫡

Here’s to even more milestones, more memories, and an even bigger year ahead! 💪

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to our facility, we’ve just installed a massive ultrasonic cleaning tank, and it’s an absolute game-changer.

This new addition expands our capabilities in a big way, allowing us to clean larger parts, handle higher volumes, and deliver deeper, more effective cleans than ever before, all while maintaining the precision and care Sonic Solutions is known for.

Whether it’s heavy-duty industrial components, oversized assemblies, or complex items that were previously too big to handle in-house, we now have the capacity to clean them thoroughly and efficiently using advanced ultrasonic technology.

If you’ve got parts that are bulky, awkward, or just in need of serious decontamination, our new tank is ready and waiting.

Big parts? Big results. Same Sonic precision.

We recently attended the MMTA International Minor Metals Conference – our first experience in this sector, and what a brilliant introduction it turned out to be.

As newcomers, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but the welcome we received from the MMTA organisers and members was outstanding. The knowledge, openness, and support throughout the event made a lasting impression on us.

A special thank you goes to Stuart and Rosie from Ireland Alloys Ltd for generously guiding us through the event – your insight and hospitality were truly appreciated.
We left the conference with a deeper understanding of the minor metals industry and some exciting opportunities already in motion.

We’re looking forward to building long-term relationships and contributing to this vital and forward-thinking sector.

We recently took Sonic Solutions to PRS Europe in Amsterdam, one of the leading events in the plastics recycling and sustainability space – and it was buzzing with energy.

Dr. Ben and Andrew were on hand to share how our ultrasonic cleaning systems are helping companies in the plastics recycling industry maintain cleaner filters, tooling, and processing equipment – improving efficiency and cutting unnecessary replacements.

It was a pleasure to reconnect with familiar faces and make plenty of new connections. The energy and innovation across the show floor were genuinely exciting, and it’s clear that the sector is hungry for cleaner, smarter, more efficient ways to operate.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to chat with us – we’ll see you again next year!
