Cyber Essentials Certification
Durham

Understanding Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves from a range of the most common cyber attacks. It provides a clear statement of the basic controls all organisations should implement to mitigate the risk from common internet-based threats. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that your organisation has taken essential steps to safeguard against cyber threats, enhancing your reputation and providing peace of mind to your clients and stakeholders.

Cyber Essentials Plus offers the same principles as Cyber Essentials but includes a hands-on technical verification. This higher level of certification involves an independent assessment of your security measures, providing a more rigorous evaluation and greater assurance that your defences are robust and effective against cyber threats.
