Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials – giving you protection and demonstrating your commitment to risk prevention

Running a successful business means you are often pulled in many directions. But cyber threats are on the increase, particularly for SMEs, and you need to be prepared. Your data, your customer’s data and your entire organisation could suffer from an attack, and cyber criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Cyber Essentials is a United Kingdom certification scheme – backed by the UK government and overseen by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) – designed to show an organisation has a minimum level of protection in cyber security. Cyber Essentials also comes with liability insurance free of charge for some organisations.
