Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that helps you to protect your company against most common cyber-attacks.
The certificate is acquired by completing a Cyber Essentials questionnaire.
Cyber Essentials
This is a self-certification. You complete the Cyber Essentials questionnaire and as long as you are able to demonstrate the required level of IT security, process and procedures you will be awarded the certificate.
Many of our clients choose to have our support when submitting the Cyber Essentials questionnaire to ensure they are fully prepared and therefore gain the certificate as quickly as possible.
Cyber Essentials Plus
The questionnaire is the same for Cyber Essentials Plus, but in addition a technical verification is carried out by a Cyber Essentials Partner, such as nTrust.
Gaining the Cyber Essentials certificate:
- Shows your clients, suppliers and employees that you take the protection of their data seriously
- It can win you business as government and some large organisations require the Cyber Essentials certificate
- Reduces the risk of a cyber-attack on your IT systems that could affect productivity, impact sales and damage the customer experience and your reputation.
