CYBER ESSENTIALS
Are you protected from common internet-based threats?
Threats like malware infections, phishing and opportunistic hacking are becoming more common. Demonstrating good practice in information security not only reduces the risk of cyber attacks, but reassures staff and customers that your organisation takes cyber security seriously.
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme which outlines the minimum baseline standard for cyber security. It’s an independently verified self-assessment certification that your organisation needs to renew annually.
Costs range from £320 plus VAT (depending on your organisation size). Your organisation must hold a valid Cyber Essentials certificate throughout the duration of any further certifications. Certification will give your organisation peace of mind that your defences are protected against the majority of common cyber attacks.
What are the advantages of Cyber Essentials?
Covering the following five technical areas, Cyber Essentials is a set of questions that assess your existing systems and controls. It is designed for SMEs and backed by the UK Government.

“What I really like about the RightCue team is their ability to distil complex and quite dry topics into accessible, easy to follow information. And that skill has enabled us to make sure all of our team are onboard and working the right way with data. RightCue helped us to achieve our cyber security accreditations including Cyber Essentials and IASME. But it’s more than that – the protection and management of data is now very much at the centre of our business. The RightCue team are absolute stars. Nothing is too much trouble. And I feel like they are standing at my shoulder – keeping a watch on what’s going on – they have my back. Honestly, if you need help with cyber security, you can’t go wrong with RightCue.”

CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS
Advanced cyber defense with Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus is an independent technical audit of your organisation’s systems to verify that the correct cyber essentials controls are in place. This includes a representative set of user devices, all internet gateways and all servers with services accessible to unauthenticated internet users. Your assessor will test a random sample of these systems.
Your organisation needs to complete a Cyber Essentials Plus audit within three months of your ‘basic’ certification, and this also requires annual certification.
