Cyber Essentials

Overview

Cyber Essentials is an effective, 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, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. The National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC) advice is designed to prevent these attacks.

Cyber security will be useful:

• To reassure customers that you are working to secure your IT against cyber attack;
• To attract new business with the promise you have cyber security measures in place;
• So you have a clear picture of your organisation's cyber security level; and
• Because some Government contracts require Cyber Essentials certification.
