Proactive Cyber Security

Cyber Essentials is an independently verified self-assessment certification that provides protection against a broad spectrum of common cyber attacks. This certification is vital as it highlights your organisation's preparedness against cyber threats, setting you apart from those that are more vulnerable to attacks. By adopting the Cyber Essentials technical controls, you assure that your defences are equipped to prevent the majority of cyber attacks, offering peace of mind to both your organisation and your stakeholders.

Certification Process: Simplified and Secure

Organisations are required to assess themselves against five basic security controls, with one of our qualified assessors verifying the information provided. The self-assessment process is facilitated through a secure, hosted platform, offering an intuitive user interface for a straightforward and efficient certification journey.
