Cyber Essentials Accreditation
To help combat Cyber Crime, the UK Government introduced the industry-backed Cyber Essentials certification scheme in 2014.
Cyber Essentials is a nationally recognised certification. It is designed to ensure that your business has the essential security measures in place to protect your data.
Cyber Essentials can:
Reduce
Reassure
Relieve
Being certified shows your commitment to protecting your data, as well as your customer and supplier data. The accreditation also helps you to address other compliance issues, including those around GDPR.

CYBER ESSENTIALS VS CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS
There are two certification levels available: Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
To achieve Cyber Essentials, you must first complete a self-assessment questionnaire. Once submitted, an external infrastructure scan will take place. After that, provided your self-assessment meets the criteria and the scan shows no critical vulnerabilities, you should pass.
To complete the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, you must first pass Cyber Essentials. The five criteria points are the same as Cyber Essentials, but the certification process is different. For instance, the certification will take place on your premises. This will include manual tests on devices.
