Cyber essentials & cyber essentials plus.
Protect your organisation against a range of cyber attacks.
What are Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials plus are government-backed accreditation schemes designed to help businesses protect themselves from cybersecurity threats.
The basic Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment, whereby businesses must assess their security for the 5 key security controls.
Once complete, you have the option to get a certified assessor to validate these results.
Cyber Essentials Plus follows the same process as the basic accreditation, with an added physical assessment of your systems by an external, independent expert.
Why do businesses need Cyber Essentials for cybersecurity?
Cyber threats are everywhere, and they’re set to increase. Cyber Essentials certifies that your organisation is protected against common cybersecurity threats such as ransomware, phishing and malware.
Cyber Essentials could also be the difference that wins you a lucrative business contract, as many organisations require their suppliers to be certified.
