Cyber Essentials

The Cyber Essentials certificate is a scheme run by the National Cyber Security Centre and is aimed at getting all businesses to a standard security level to prevent cybercrime.

It is a Government backed scheme that helps protect organisations of all shapes and sizes from a range of the most common cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks come in many forms, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. The advice provided by Cyber Essentials is designed to prevent these attacks.

Different types of Engagement

It is difficult to find the time and resources needed to develop a robust cyber security system. However, Cyber Essentials was strategically designed to fit with whatever level of commitment you can sustain. There are three levels of engagement, and the easiest way to get acquainted with cyber security terminology is to gain enough knowledge to start securing your IT.

If you need more cyber security certainty, you can go to Cyber Essentials basic or entry level certification. You can then go to Cyber Essentials Plus certification for those who want to take cyber security further.
