CYBER ESSENTIALS SCHEME
As stories of organisations exposing customers’ information to Cyber breaches continue to create headlines in the media, it is becoming increasingly important for organisations to not only maintain a robust cyber security stance but also demonstrate this to their clients. That’s where Cyber Essentials (CE) comes in.
Please speak to our experts to discuss how CE can help to protect your business from cyber-attacks.
WHAT IS CYBER ESSENTIALS?
Cyber Essentials is a cost-effective, UK Government-backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.
Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, and carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks.
CE accreditation provides your business with protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks. This is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark you out as a target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others.
Certification gives you peace of mind that your defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the CE technical controls in place.
CE shows you how to address those basics and prevent the most common attacks.
WHY SHOULD YOU GET CE Accreditation?
Reassure customers that you are working to secure your IT against cyber attack
Attract new business with the promise you have cyber security measures in place
You have a clear picture of your organisation’s cyber security level
Customers and insurers are increasingly demanding proof of cyber security. As an accredited certification, Cyber Essentials fits the bill!
