What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is the government standard for network security, established by the National Cyber Security Centre. By adhering to these rigorous standards, we ensure that our systems and the data entrusted to us are fortified against cyber attacks.
Government-Backed Scheme
Cyber Essentials is an effective, government-backed initiative designed to protect organizations of all sizes against common cyber threats. It provides practical guidance to prevent basic attacks, which are often carried out by relatively unskilled individuals.
Basic Protection
The self-assessment option under Cyber Essentials shields your organization against a wide range of common cyber attacks. By implementing these basic controls, you reduce the risk of being targeted by cybercriminals seeking vulnerable targets.
Certification Benefits
Reassure Customers - Displaying your Cyber Essentials certification reassures customers that you prioritize cybersecurity. Attract New Business - Potential clients are more likely to engage with businesses that demonstrate robust security practices. Clear Security Picture - Certification provides a clear view of your organization’s cybersecurity level.
Technical Controls
Cyber Essentials outlines technical controls that address fundamental security aspects. These controls include measures related to firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, and malware protection.
Cyber Essentials Plus
For an extra layer of assurance, consider Cyber Essentials Plus. It involves a hands-on technical verification to validate that your security measures are effectively in place.
Government Contracts
If you plan to bid for central government contracts, especially those involving sensitive information or technical products/services, Cyber Essentials certification is often a requirement.

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification builds trust between companies and their customers. It demonstrates a commitment to cybersecurity and reassures clients that their data is in safe hands.
