Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials is a scheme backed by the UK government and supported by the IT industry. It has been designed to help companies of all sizes protect themselves against the most common forms of cyber attack.  A Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates to customers, suppliers and other stakeholders that the most important cyber security controls have been implemented. What’s more Cyber Essentials is now a mandatory requirement for UK government contracts.
