Modern Slavery Statement

CrownSync LTD is a UK-based software company that develops and operates CrownSync CE Readiness, a web-based SaaS platform helping UK organisations prepare for Cyber Essentials certification. We operate entirely within the United Kingdom. Our workforce is UK-based.

Our business model is entirely digital. We do not manufacture physical goods, operate warehouses, or engage in logistics.

Given the nature of our business as a digital software company, our supply chain is limited and low-risk. Our principal suppliers and service providers include:

• Cloud and infrastructure providers — Hetzner Online GmbH (server hosting, Germany), Cloudflare Inc (CDN and security, United States)
• Software and tooling — Clerk Inc (authentication), Resend (email delivery), and standard open-source software libraries
• Professional services — occasional UK-based freelance contractors engaged for specific technical or creative work

All suppliers are established, reputable technology businesses operating in regulated markets with their own published modern slavery statements or equivalent ethical commitments. We do not engage with manufacturers, agricultural producers, or industries historically associated with elevated modern slavery risk.

CrownSync LTD is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. Our approach to modern slavery is reflected in the following:

We take the following steps to identify and address modern slavery risk:

• We assess the nature and geography of our supply chain annually and identify any elevated-risk relationships
• We review the modern slavery statements and ethical policies of our principal technology suppliers
• We engage only with UK-based contractors or contractors in jurisdictions with equivalent employment protections
• We maintain an open-door policy for all personnel to raise concerns without fear of retaliation

Given the digital nature of our supply chain, we assess our overall modern slavery risk as low. We have not identified any instances of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chain.

We ensure that all personnel associated with our business are aware of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and understand how to identify and report concerns. Awareness is communicated directly to all personnel and reviewed annually.

If you have any concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking in connection with CrownSync LTD or our supply chain, please contact us immediately:

• Email: [email protected]
• Post: CrownSync LTD, 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX

All reports will be treated seriously and in confidence. We will not penalise anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

As CrownSync LTD grows, we are committed to:

• Formalising our supplier due diligence process as our supply chain expands
• Introducing written contractual requirements for modern slavery compliance with all suppliers above a material spend threshold
• Reviewing and updating this statement annually and publishing the updated version on this page
• Considering independent verification of our supply chain practices as our business scales
