Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme to help organisations defend themselves from the most
common cyber-attacks. Certification provides peace of mind that key security controls are in place, and it is
a great way to communicate good “cyber hygiene” practises to customers and clients.
We start by looking at your existing approach to cyber security, controls in place and either recommend a full security review or just areas specific to Cyber Essentials (firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security update management).
We then tell you if improvements need to be made and we can work with your IT team to get them implemented. Finally, we help you complete and submit the Cyber Essentials questionnaire to our specialist partner, who assesses it and, all being well, issues the certification.
An optional next step is to work towards the higher-level achievement of Cyber Essentials Plus, involving “real world” testing of key security systems.
