About Celtic Sea Power
Celtic Sea Power Limited, based in Cornwall, is dedicated to maximising the benefits of offshore renewable energy across the Celtic Sea region. They develop and manage projects that drive sustainable energy generation, support regional economic growth, and promote environmental stewardship. With a growing operational footprint, maintaining secure, reliable IT systems is essential to supporting their mission.
Spherica has been a long-term partner of Celtic Sea Power, managing their IT infrastructure, network, and end-user support. As part of its ongoing commitment to security and efficiency, Celtic Sea Power engaged Spherica to support the journey towards Cyber Essentials Plus certification, enhancing device security, standardising configurations, and improving the management of their Windows laptop estate.
Approach
Spherica worked closely with the team to modernise and streamline device management. This included:
This transformation provided consistency, improved control, and strengthened the organisation’s security posture.
Reflecting on the project, Julie Russell, IT Administrator at Celtic Sea Power, shared:
“The Team at Spherica have been super helpful and made real improvements to the security of the business laptops. This work has not only increased the security of our equipment, but as an added bonus, this has saved time when onboarding new staff with an out-of-the-box onboarding experience. We are currently working with Spherica to bring our business mobile phones into the same system.”
Nick Apps, Chief Technology Officer at Spherica, praised the collaborative effort, saying:
“Working with Celtic Sea Power has been a collaborative and rewarding project. By adopting modern management practices, we were able to deliver a secure, standardised, and scalable device environment that reduces manual workload and supports their long-term security strategy. The engagement has laid the foundation for continued improvements, including the future onboarding of mobile devices into the same management framework. Renewable energy is crucial for the future as it combats climate change, ensures energy security, and supports sustainable economic growth, and we are proud to play a part in enabling Celtic Sea Power’s mission.”
Outcome
Celtic Sea Power now benefits from a more robust, efficient, and secure device estate aligned with Cyber Essentials requirements. The new processes not only improve security but also enhance user experience, particularly during onboarding, where devices can now be deployed quickly and consistently.
Conclusion
Through targeted modernisation and collaborative planning, Spherica enabled Celtic Sea Power to significantly strengthen device security and streamline IT operations. With a solid foundation now in place and expansion into mobile management underway, Celtic Sea Power is well positioned to maintain compliance, support future growth, and continue driving innovation across the region. By managing their IT environment, Spherica has enabled Celtic Sea Power to focus on the vital role renewable energy plays in shaping a sustainable future for us all.
