Cyber essentials

Whatever the size of your organization, Cyber Essentials is a powerful, government-backed programme that can help you defend it from the majority of the most common cyberattacks. Although cyber-attacks come in various forms and sizes, the majority are simple operations carried out by people with less technical expertise. They act analogous to a burglar testing your front door to determine if it is unlocked. Our solutions are intended to stop these attacks.

There are two certification levels:

You are safeguarded from a wide range of the most typical cyberattacks with the help of
our self-assessment option. This is crucial because being vulnerable to simple attacks
might single you out for more intrusive unwanted attention from cybercriminals and
others. Because most common cyberattacks aim for targets that don’t have the Cyber Essentials
technical controls in place, certification gives you peace of mind that your defences will
defend against the great majority of typical cyberattacks. Cyber Essentials teaches you to take care of these fundamentals and defend against the most frequent threats.

The safeguards you must implement under Cyber Essentials Plus are identical to those
under Cyber Essentials and yet maintain the hallmark simplicity of approach. However,
under Cyber Essentials Plus, a hands-on technical verification is performed.
Alternatively, you can become comfortable with cyber security jargon and learn enough to
start securing your IT.
