What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is an effective, government-backed scheme designed to protect against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks, representing a minimum baseline standard for the cyber essentials within organisations in the UK. According to the NCSC, organisations that have Cyber Essentials certification are 80% less likely to make a cyber insurance claim.

Cyber Essentials Plus is an additional certification featuring all Cyber Essentials foundations to ensure everything you need is in place, with an extra hands-on audit completed by specialists. By reviewing your current stance, the actions you take will be more beneficial and cost-effective.
What is the NCSC?
The National Cyber Security Centre is the backbone of cyber security practices in the UK, launched with the intention of educating the UK public about the importance of cyber security, including prevention, resolution, and reduction of cyber threats.
The NCSC Cyber Essentials certification gives you peace of mind that your defenses will hold strong against a multitude of cyber threats. By getting NCSC Cyber Essentials certified, your employees, customers, and suppliers will be assured that their data is safe in any event.
