by Kylie Julius | Nov 3, 2024 | Cyber Essentials Certification
We’re excited to announce that Strata-G has achieved the Cyber Essentials Certification! This certification helps businesses protect against the most common cyber-attacks. Created by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre and Information Assurance Security Management Association, this certification outlines key requirements to boost Strata-G’s cybersecurity capabilities.
This accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and guidance of our IT specialists, Dwight Cross and Brett McGregor, and mentorship from UCOR IT specialists Chad Waddell and Kayla Sutton. Thank you for your expertise and support in strengthening our cybersecurity efforts as part of our mentor-protégé agreement with UCOR.
Achieving Cyber Essentials was also a key step for working on certain UK government projects. It has set a strong foundation for our broader cybersecurity goals, helping us on the path toward NIST 800-171 compliance and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification in the future.

We are excited to share that we have partnered with UCOR, RSI, and L&A to support East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Together, we have contributed funds towards expanding regional behavioral health outreach at the Children’s Oak Ridge Pediatrics facility. Oak Ridge Pediatrics will be the first primary care location in the Children’s Hospital network to offer behavioral health care. The donation will allow Children’s Hospital to hire two full-time behavioral care clinicians, purchase new technology, and offer mental health outreach education and first aid.
This initiative is crucial for enhancing mental health services for children in our community, and we are thankful to be part of this meaningful effort.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this possible!

Strata-G’s Senior Project Superintendent Mike Burcham (pictured above) and Senior Construction Project Manager Charles Campbell are providing project management and safety support services to Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI).
Their efforts are aimed at improving the Clemson University campus in South Carolina one building at a time!
JCI expanded its 25-year partnership with Clemson University under a new $45M net zero campus initiative that will generate savings to fund the entire project.
Through these improvements, Clemson University is projected to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2025, a major milestone toward its 2030 carbon neutrality goal. The updates will foster a modernized environment for learning and living, while generating estimated savings of more than $3M annually throughout the 15-year contract.
