CYBER ESSENTIALS
Investing in your business’s cyber-security posture is essential in the current landscape. Rising cases of cyber-crime underpinned with the introduction of data protection laws, has resulted in robust cyber-security measures being an integral factor in ensuring business continuity.
WHAT IS CYBER ESSENTIALS?
The Cyber Essentials scheme is government backed by the National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ, and is an industry leading accreditation. Acquiring the Cyber Essentials certification not only helps protect your business against cyber-threats, it additionally demonstrates to your clients that you have taken essential security precautions to ensure that their data is in safe hands.
CYBER ESSENTIALS
This initial stage is a self-assessment to protect you against a wide variety of cyber-threats. The accreditation is straight-forward and simple to achieve if you have the necessary measures in place, completed via a portal-based questionnaire on IASME’s, the accreditation body, website
CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS
This is the next stage of the Cyber Essentials scheme and is for those who really want to demonstrate their commitment to system security. This stage supplements your existing Cyber Essentials certification with an in-person assessment of your systems in line with the Cyber Essentials framework along with additional external security tests. This provides a comprehensive stress test of your current infrastructure and technologies, in order to provide you with holistic visibility on the current stage of your technology solution, and any existing vulnerabilities.
