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 £300 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 organsiation 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.

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.

If you are interested in finding out more about Cyber Essentials Plus certification and the process, please get in touch by completing the form to discover how we can assist you.
