Cyber Essentials Accreditation

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is an effective, government-backed scheme designed to help organisations of all sizes protect themselves against a wide range of common cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks come in various forms, but the vast majority are basic and executed by relatively unskilled individuals. These attacks are like a thief checking if a front door is unlocked. The guidance provided by Cyber Essentials is aimed at preventing such attacks, ensuring that your organisation is safeguarded against these prevalent threats. The Cyber Essentials certification helps organisations implement fundamental security measures, ensuring robust protection against common cyber threats.

The Certification

The Cyber Essentials certification involves a self-assessment process that offers protection against many of the most common cyber-attacks. This is crucial because vulnerability to basic attacks can make your organisation a target for more sophisticated cyber criminals. By addressing these basics, Cyber Essentials helps companies prevent the most common attacks, providing peace of mind that defences will protect against typical cyber threats. These attackers often seek targets that do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.
