What is
Cyber Essentials Certification?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification, overseen by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), that helps businesses protect against common cyber threats. It provides a clear framework for implementing essential security measures, reducing the risk of cyber attacks and strengthening overall IT resilience.

With cyber threats evolving rapidly, Cyber Essentials ensures businesses adopt industry best practices to secure networks, devices, and data. Certification enhances your security posture while demonstrating a proactive approach to protecting your organisation from cyber risks.

Why is Cyber Essentials Certification Needed in Your Business?

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, with phishing attacks, malware infections, and ransomware posing significant risks to businesses of all sizes. Cyber Essentials certification helps organisations guard against approximately 80% of common cyber threats, ensuring critical security measures are in place to protect data, systems, and operations.

Beyond improving security, Cyber Essentials is a requirement for businesses working with UK government contracts, particularly those handling sensitive information or public sector data. Certification not only reduces cyber risks but also demonstrates compliance with industry best practices, potentially lowering cyber insurance premiums and increasing trust with clients and stakeholders.

There are two levels of Cyber Essentials certification,
each offering different levels of assurance and security validation: 

Cyber Essentials

This is the basic level of certification, designed for organisations looking to implement essential cybersecurity measures.

Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials Plus includes all the requirements of the basic certification but also involves an independent technical audit. A qualified assessor conducts vulnerability scans and security testing to validate that cybersecurity controls are effectively implemented.
