Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme that lays out a set of policies and procedures that organisations can put in place to show they meet a basic standard of IT security.
These are a set of basic technical controls that organisations should have in place to protect themselves against common online security threats.
Cyber Essentials helps safeguard your organisation against the most common cyber threats. By implementing the technical controls outlined in the certification, you create a strong defence against basic attacks.
By obtaining Cyber Essentials certification, you signal to customers and partners that you take cyber security seriously. It reassures them that you’re actively working to secure your IT systems against potential threats and shows your clients and customers that you are a trustworthy business they can deal with in confidence.
Many businesses and government bodies now require companies along their supply chain to have passed the Cyber Essentials certification. If you plan to bid for government contracts that involve handling sensitive information or providing technical products and services, Cyber Essentials certification is often mandatory.
The certification process helps you assess your organisation’s cybersecurity. You’ll gain insights into areas where improvements are needed and can take steps to address vulnerabilities. Certification provides peace of mind. Knowing that your defences align with Cyber Essentials requirements means you’re less likely to fall victim to common cyberattacks.
