Whether you’re looking to improve your basic security, or be part of the government supply chain, Cyber Essentials will help your organisation protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of stored data.
Cyber Essentials is an effective, government-backed scheme designed to protect against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks, representing a minimum baseline standard for the cyber security of organisations in the UK. According to the NCSC, organisations that have Cyber Essentials certification are 80% less likely to make a cyber insurance claim.
By showing organisations how to address the basics and prevent the most common attacks, Cyber Essentials gives organisations like yours peace of mind that the defences in place will protect against the majority of common cyber attacks.
