Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

GDAK Cyber Solution Ltd is committed to conducting business in a legal, ethical and socially responsible manner. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, servitude and human trafficking throughout our business and supply chain.

This statement outlines the measures we have in place to minimise the risk of modern slavery within our organisation and supply chain.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

Conducting business with honesty, integrity and respect for human rights;
Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chain;
Complying with all applicable employment and human rights legislation;
Promoting a culture where concerns can be raised openly and without fear of retaliation; and
Continually reviewing and improving our approach to ethical business practices.

Our Business and Supply Chain

GDAK Cyber Solution Ltd is a UK-based cyber security consultancy providing specialist services to government, defence, critical national infrastructure and commercial organisations.

Our supply chain is relatively small and consists primarily of professional services, software providers, IT equipment suppliers, office facilities, utilities and business support services. Whilst we consider the overall risk of modern slavery within our operations to be low, we recognise that no organisation is entirely exempt from risk and remain committed to maintaining appropriate controls.

Policies and Governance

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is supported by a range of internal policies and procedures, including:

Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy;
Whistleblowing Policy;
Procurement Policy;
Recruitment and Right to Work procedures;
Corporate Social Responsibility commitments; and
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Overall responsibility for this statement and our approach to modern slavery rests with the Board of Directors.

Due Diligence and Supplier Management

In line with our Procurement Policy, we undertake proportionate due diligence when procuring goods and services to remain vigilant to the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain.

We seek to work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical business practices and, where appropriate, assess the level of risk presented by the services or goods being procured. Where a higher risk is identified, we will undertake additional due diligence and take appropriate action before entering into, or continuing, a business relationship.

We are committed to conducting business in a legal, ethical and socially responsible way.

Employment Practices

We are committed to fair and lawful employment practices throughout our organisation.

This includes:

Verifying every employee's legal right to work in the UK;
Operating fair and transparent recruitment processes;
Complying with UK employment legislation;
Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion; and
Providing employees with appropriate routes to raise concerns.

Training and Awareness

We recognise that awareness plays an important role in preventing modern slavery.

Employees receive information about our expectations through company policies and periodic awareness activities. Managers and those involved in recruitment or procurement are expected to understand their responsibilities in identifying and responding to potential indicators of modern slavery.

Our policies are reviewed regularly and communicated to employees as part of our wider governance and compliance programme.

Reporting Concerns

GDAK encourages employees, suppliers and business partners to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical business practices. Concerns can be raised directly with GDAK via our contact details published on this website. All reports will be treated seriously and investigated appropriately.

Monitoring and Review

The Board of Directors reviews this statement annually to ensure it remains appropriate, reflects our business activities and continues to support our commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting human rights.
