Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that helps protect organisations of any size against common internet based cyber threats. The base level is a self assessment against five key areas covering firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management. Cyber Essential Plus includes a technical verification of these controls by one of our qualified assessors.
Obtaining certification can provide you with assurance that your defences are capable of addressing and safeguarding against the most prevalent cyber attacks. This is because these attacks typically target systems lacking the technical controls specified by Cyber Essentials.
The key benefit of Cyber Essentials is that it reduces your exposure to cyber threats however it also reassures customers that you are working to secure your IT against cyber attack. Similarly, enrolling in this scheme can improve your chance of attracting any new business with the promise that you have effective cyber security measures in place.
We can help you to define your certification scope and plan your certification journey, providing specialist support where you need it. We can also help you to maintain compliance through our Cyber Essentials managed service.
