Elevate Your Cybersecurity with Cyber Essentials Certification

The Cyber Essentials accreditation is a government backed initiative that gets a business to focus on their IT security. With more users working from home, it is paramount that their devices be secured against cyber threats. Discover how our expertise can help your company achieve the Cyber Essentials certification and enhance its cybersecurity defences.

Enhance Your Security with Cyber Essentials Certification

Introduction

The Cyber Essentials certification provides guidelines for a company to strengthen their cybersecurity and protect against common cyber-attacks. It helps guide businesses by raising awareness of the most vulnerable aspects of their IT infrastructure and suggesting ways to mitigate these risks. An example is creating internal policies guiding staff on password length, complexity, do’s and don’ts.

The Importance of Cyber Essentials

By adopting the Cyber Essentials accreditation, businesses can:

Protect Against Common Threats – Implement measures to defend against cyber-attacks, such as malware, phishing, ransomware and account compromises.
Enhance Customer Trust – Demonstrate a commitment to cybersecurity which helps to build trust with new and existing customers.
Improve Cyber Resilience – Strengthens your company’s network against cyber threats, which minimises the likelihood and impact of potential breaches.
