Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme that helps organisations to protect themselves from cyber attacks.
The certification demonstrates a commitment to cybersecurity by ensuring an organisation has implemented five basic technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, access controls, malware protection, and patch management.
Cyber Essentials provides peace of mind, shows customers and partners you take security seriously, and can even be a requirement for bidding on certain government contracts.
