Cyber Essentials

The simplest way to master the basics of cybersecurity. Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification aimed at helping UK organisations defend themselves against the most common cyber threats.

To achieve a Cyber Essentials certification, you must complete a self-assessment questionnaire and submit it through an online portal. It requires your business to put in place and evidence the five security controls needed for a strong level of protection. Once you’ve applied, a certification body assesses the application. You can receive Cyber Essentials certification in as little as 24 hours.

And it really works. The scheme is proven to protect against 98.5% of the most common cyber threats. Plus, research from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reveals that organisations with Cyber Essentials are 92% less likely to claim on cyber insurance policies.

Any business looking to improve its security could benefit from Cyber Essentials certification. However, it is particularly useful if:

  • Thorough Assessment:

    You want a thorough assessment of your cybersecurity measures and proof your business takes cybersecurity seriously.

  • Data Protection:

    You work with (or want to work with) prestigious clients and want to show them that data protection is a top priority

  • High Standards:

    You work in an industry with higher-than-standard cybersecurity requirements

  • Government Tenders :

    You plan to bid for government tenders or want to apply for government funding

Cyber Essentials is like doing your own car MOT once a year. You perform basic checks yourself to ensure your car meets minimum safety and roadworthiness standards and a professional marks your structured output to confirm you are compliant. 

The onus is on the organisation to accurately and honestly perform the assessment.
