Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed certification scheme, designed to set a strong security baseline and help businesses operate securely online.
Cyber Essentials is required for many Government and public-sector contracts, making it a key driver of new sales and business growth. As a certification standard, Cyber Essentials demonstrates your business’ commitment to cyber security, enhancing your reputation with customers, stakeholders and supply chain partners.
Cyber Essentials certification also includes free cyber insurance available to UK companies, if the certification covers the entire organisation (additional conditions apply).
