cyber essentials certification

Why Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme, developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and delivered through IASME. It helps organisations establish a strong baseline of cyber security and reduce their exposure to common threats such as phishing, malware and unauthorised access.

Certification demonstrates to customers, suppliers and partners that your organisation takes cyber security seriously. It can also support tender and contract requirements, with many organisations requiring Cyber Essentials as part of their supplier criteria.

 

Certified organisations may also be eligible for up to £25,000 of cyber insurance, subject to the applicable eligibility criteria and policy terms.
