It has been critical for us to access sites to rectify any service-related faults and to continue scheduled capacity upgrades to meet demand on the networks. Your co-operation during this time has enabled us to ensure we can upgrade and maintain the nation’s critical infrastructure. Our engineers are fully briefed on the new health and safety requirements for COVID-19. We are regularly updating them with advice and processes to ensure we are practising social distancing while visiting sites.
I am also delighted to share with you the new Code hub that we have launched on our Cornerstone website. As you may know, the Electronic Communications Code (ECC) legislation is now two and a half years on from when it was last reformed. In support of the Government’s ambition for the UK to have world-class mobile connectivity, we at Cornerstone, have been working with landlords and the property and legal industry to educate and implement this effectively. We appreciate the revised Code legislation may be causing some landlords to question the changes. However, our aim is to continue to work with you to ensure that we use the Code to improve our digital services across the UK.
Our new Code hub is your source of information. To find out more visit: www.cornerstone.network/the-code-hub/overview
I am pleased to also bring you news that Cornerstone has successfully obtained recertification from the British Standards Institute for ISO 27001 - Information Security Management System (ISMS). BSI ISO:27001 is an essential accreditation for us all, as it demonstrates our data is kept secure at all times. Since our last certification three years ago, we are proactively adhering to the highest standards and will continue to maintain this going forward.
On a final note, on behalf of Cornerstone, I want to reiterate our highest appreciation to our landlord community for your valued support, especially during the coronavirus crisis, and we look forward to continuing our work together, keeping the UK connected.
If you would like to contact us or provide any feedback, please email us on news@cornerstone.network.
Yours sincerely,
Belinda Fawcett
General Counsel and Director of Property and Estates.
