What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is an effective, government backed scheme tha will help you to protect your organisation, whatever it’s size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks.

There are two levels of certification:

Cyber Essentials

Our self-assessment option gives you protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks. This is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark you out as target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others. Certification gives you peace of mind that your defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place. Cyber Essentials shows you how to address those basics and prevent the most common attacks.

Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials Plus still has the Cyber Essentials trademark simplicity of approach, and the protections you need to put in place are the same, but for Cyber Essentials Plus a hands-on technical verification is carried out. Alternatively you can familiarise yourself with cyber security terminology, gaining enough knowledge to begin securing your IT.

Why should you become Cyber Essentials Certified?

Gaining a Cyber Essentials certification offers assurance to your customers and suppliers that you have a baseline appreciation of Cyber Security. In an era notable for indiscriminate cyber attackers targeting companies regardless of their size and industry, proving your Cyber Security credentials will boost your image as a secure company in the fight against cyber criminals.
