In a world increasingly focused on cybersecurity, accreditations are essential for strengthening your security posture and demonstrating your organisation's commitment to cybersecurity, with industry standards like Cyber Essentials.
By achieving Cyber Essentials certifications, your organisation can demonstrate its dedication to cybersecurity, meet requirements for government and other key contracts, and ensure your security posture aligns with the latest standards, effectively strengthening its overall security.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is the foundational level of certification designed to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. The accreditation focuses on five key security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. To achieve this certification, an organisation must complete and submit an assessment questionnaire, which is then independently reviewed by a certification body. By implementing these essential controls, Cyber Essentials ensures that an organisation has a basic but robust defense against the most prevalent cyberattacks, making it an ideal choice for organisations looking to establish or improve their cybersecurity baseline.
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the standard certification with a more rigorous, hands-on technical assessment. While it includes the same core requirements—such as firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management—the key difference is the verification process. Instead of relying solely on a self-assessment, Cyber Essentials Plus requires an external assessor to conduct vulnerability tests and internal security checks within the organisation. This extra level of scrutiny provides greater assurance that the security controls are not only in place but also effective in real-world scenarios, making Cyber Essentials Plus ideal for organisations needing higher cybersecurity assurance.
