Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification that demonstrates a business has put in place the most important IT security controls to protect its clients and stakeholders. In short, it proves that a business is taking its cyber security seriously.
Cyber Essentials is reviewed annually to ensure standards are up to date and equipped to deal with the latest threat level.
Cyber Essentials Plus is based on the same requirements but offers a higher level of assurance that a business is complying with the scheme.
At ToraGuard, we help businesses work towards and achieve both levels of accreditation, with our team of experienced Cyber Essentials assessors assisting them to meet criteria and develop effective cyber security solutions to achieve future certification.
Contact UsThe annual renewable certification scheme consists of five control measures designed to reduce the risk and impact of cyber-attacks. At a time when cybercrime is growing and becoming more sophisticated, customers are increasingly aware of the threat to their data and secure information and actively look for businesses to demonstrate a commitment to protect it.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are government-backed schemes that provide evidence a business is doing all it can to reduce risks and protect data.
Certification is in the form of a verified self-assessment questionnaire that must be completed on the Cyber Essentials platform, following a successful registration. At ToraGuard, we recommend that businesses download the Cyber Essentials accreditation questionnaire to familiarise themselves with the requirements, centring around core measures.
These include:
When it comes to cyber security threats are constantly evolving. Each individual business will have different security requirements that need bespoke solutions.
However, a baseline level of cyber security preparedness is expected from all types of businesses operating online. Cyber Essentials is a government scheme that allows businesses to demonstrate this readiness to protect themselves and their clients. It is very reassuring to existing and potential clients that businesses are protected against potential attacks, and can even attract new customers when certification is in place.
From an internal point of view, it helps to develop a clear sense of the business’s responsibilities and the required level of risk mitigation and security strategy. Gaining a clearer picture of what is required, understanding the terminology and applying this in a practical sense to get certified is a great foundation for any security solution.
Some government contracts require Cyber Essentials certification – and other organisations may have similar conditions.
