What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority can be very basic and therefore easily protected against. The government-backed Cyber Essentials certification scheme helps organisations mitigate the risks of the most common attacks.

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment certification which gives you peace of mind that your cyber defences will protect against the majority of common cyberattacks. Obtaining Cyber Essentials is a simple process – through completion of a self-assessment questionnaire we assess you against the FIVE basic security controls. A qualified assessor verifies the information provided and if you satisfy the requirements, we will award you with Cyber Essentials certification.

Get Protected, Get Certified – You are protecting your business now and for the future.
