Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed and industry-supported scheme that helps businesses protect themselves and their customers against the growing threat of cyber-attacks.
Cyber Essentials provides clear guidance on the basic cyber security controls that organisations of all sizes should have in place, and offers a solid foundation upon which to build a comprehensive cyber security defence.
It’s a mandatory requirement for organisations that want to bid for central government and MOD contracts that deal with the handling of personal information and the provision of certain technology-related products and services.
