What is a Cyber Essentials certificate?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme designed to help organizations protect themselves against common cyber threats. It provides a set of basic security controls that organizations should implement to safeguard their systems and data.

Practical benefits of Cyber Essentials

Improved security posture

Implementing the required controls reduces the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.

Increased trust

Certification signals to customers and partners that your organization is credible and takes cybersecurity seriously.

Competitive advantage

Many organizations, especially government institutions, require Cyber Essentials as a prerequisite for contracts, giving certified companies an edge.

Employee awareness

The process promotes cybersecurity awareness among employees, fostering a security-conscious culture.

Sectors impacted by Cyber Essentials

The ISO 27001 standard is the cornerstone of the ISO/IEC 27000 series, outlining the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS) to ensure comprehensive security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection.
