Cyber Essentials Certification

The Cyber Essentials Certification is a security certificate designed to help businesses protect themselves against cyber threats. The Cyber Essentials program will assess your business’s hardware and software against a set of defined cyber security criteria, whilst identifying any vulnerabilities you may have. Organisations that achieve this certificate ensure that they are working by the recognised standard of cyber security that is backed by the Government. Show your customers that you take cyber security seriously by demonstrating confidence in your business’s cyber safety.
