​

Is Cyber Essentials for you?

​

Government and industry have worked together to produce a scheme designed to help UK organisations with limited experience of cyber security improve their defences and demonstrate publicly their commitment to cyber security.

​

As a set of baseline technical controls, the Cyber Essentials scheme has a very wide audience. Organisations large and small, public, private and charitable can all benefit from the provisions set out in the scheme.

​

The process of certification has been designed to be light weight and easily manageable while at the same time providing a respected standard in cyber security.

​

The attacks we defend against

​

The Cyber Essentials scheme addresses the most common Internet-based threats to cyber security — particularly, attacks that use widely available tools and demand little skill. The scheme considers these threats to be:

​

  • hacking — exploiting known vulnerabilities in Internet-connected devices, using widely available tools and techniques

  • phishing — and other ways of tricking users into installing or executing a malicious application

  • password guessing — manual or automated attempts to log on from the Internet, by guessing passwords

​

Your IT, protected

​

The Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data stored on devices which connect to the Internet. Such as:

​

  • desktop and laptop PCs

  • tablets and smartphones

  • all types of server and networking equipment

  • Advantages of certification

  • Reassure customers that you are working to secure your IT and their data against cyber attack

  • Attract new business with the promise you take cyber security seriously

  • Build a relationship with a trusted IT supplier

  • Certain local & national government contracts require Cyber Essentials certification
