Protect your business against the most common cyber threats with Cyber Essentials.

No business is out of reach from cyber criminals. Protect your business from online threats with Cyber Essentials certification.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is the minimum standard of cyber security recommended by the Government for organisations of all sizes.

Developed by the experts at the NCSC, the certification scheme is aligned to five technical controls designed to prevent the most common internet based cyber security threats.

Why Cyber Essentials?

Cyber criminals can find your business anywhere. No matter your business’ size or location, cyber attacks are no longer a question of 'if' but 'when’.

The good news is that most cyber-attacks are basic in nature - the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked.

Cyber Essentials helps ensure your door is locked shut, keeping your digital assets and data safe.

  • Get peace of mind that your organisation is protected against the most common online threats
  • A growing number of organisations require suppliers to be certified to bid for work
  • Build customer trust and show you take cyber security seriously
