About Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials assists your organisation in guarding against cyber attacks.
This helps your organisation protect itself against the most frequent cyber threats and shows your dedication to cyber security.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is an efficient, Government-supported scheme that aids in safeguarding your organisation, regardless of its size, from a range of common cyber attacks. While cyber attacks vary in form, the majority are quite basic and are executed by individuals with limited skills. They are comparable to a thief testing if your front door is locked. Our guidance aims to prevent these simple attacks.
There are two certification levels:
Cyber Essentials
Our self-assessment option provides protection against many of the most typical cyber attacks. Being vulnerable to basic attacks can expose you as a target for more sophisticated threats by cyber criminals. Certification ensures that your defences are adequate against most common cyber threats because such attacks generally seek out targets without Cyber Essentials technical controls.
Cyber Essentials educates you on addressing fundamental issues and preventing frequent attacks.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus retains the straightforward approach of Cyber Essentials while offering additional hands-on technical verification. The necessary protections remain the same for both certifications.
Alternatively, you can familiarise yourself with cyber security terms to gain enough knowledge to start securing your IT systems.
Why should you get Cyber Essentials?
- Assure customers that you are working to secure your IT against cyber attack.
- Attract new business with proof of your cyber security measures.
- Gain a clear understanding of your organisation’s cyber security status.
- Some Government contracts necessitate Cyber Essentials certification.
