Government-backed protection for fighting cyber-crime
Put simply, the Cyber Essentials scheme is the Government’s how-to guide to protecting your organisation against the most common cyber attacks. The scheme was bolstered in 2021 by its biggest update since launch and now offers practical advice to prevent up to 80% of cyber attacks.
As your trusty Cyber Essentials providers, we can give you and your employees access to the scheme and educate you on the increasingly complex security challenges facing businesses today.
Why is the Cyber Essentials scheme important?
As the risk of cyber-grows, so does the need for you to defend your business and your customers with a watertight cyber security strategy. You should view the Cyber Essentials scheme as one of the core weapons in your arsenal for fighting cyber-crime.
Covering five basic security areas – firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and patch management – the Cyber Essentials scheme provides you with practical advice on strengthening your cyber security.
When it comes to data protection, it’s not good enough to say you take it seriously – your customers want you to prove it. Cyber Essentials certification offers a simple, straightforward means of demonstrating your company’s commitment to cyber security and gives your customers that all-important reassurance that their data is in safe hands.
If you work for any Government agency – be that a council, the NHS or the police force – you should be adhering to the Cyber Essentials programme.
