Looking for Cyber Essentials Support?

A breakdown of the NCSC

NCSC is a government backed scheme in the UK that aims to protect your devices from a wide range of the most commonly found cyber threats. There are two types of certification for you to consider:

Cyber Essentials

The Cyber Essentials certification covers your basic cyber security needs, meaning your computing systems are much less vulnerable with this in place than they would be otherwise. Many of the individuals behind cyber attacks intentionally look for targets that aren’t using Cyber Essentials, so this means you’re much less likely to even come to the attention of cyber criminals.

Cyber Essentials Plus

The difference between the standard version of the two choices is that with Cyber Essentials Plus, a hands-on technical verification is carried out. This makes it that bit more secure whilst still using a simple approach.

Why should you obtain Cyber Essentials?

1. Improve your security processes
Once accredited, you’ll be less at risk of GDPR non-compliance and associated fines, and protected against 80% of the most common security threats.

Cyber Essentials provides a framework to improve your internal processes. The five categories of criteria act as a step-by-step guide to up your cybersecurity game. It’s easy to follow and gives you processes to follow that’ll set you up for future success. Save time, money, and stress by getting organised.

2. Build trust with customers

With so many high-profile and damaging cyber attacks worldwide, customers are rightly nervous about who to share data with and want to know their personal information will be safe.

Having a government-backed accreditation lets customers know that you operate your business to a good standard of cybersecurity. This provides the reassurance they need to buy from you with confidence. Over time, you’ll build broader brand recognition and improve your reputation, too.

3. Bid for government contracts
If you want to work with organisations in the public sector and bid for contracts, you’ll need a Cyber Essentials accreditation.

This is a huge opportunity to work on large-scale projects and form long-lasting positive relationships with public sector organisations.

4. Be on a trusted register of suppliers
For the 12 months your certificate is valid, your company’s name will be on the NCSC website. This makes it easy for potential customers to check your cybersecurity credentials and validate your business.
5. Strengthen your supply chain
It’s not just important for your customers to trust you. Your partners, suppliers, and investors need to have confidence in your ability to operate safely, too. Having a recognised certification validates your processes and means they know you operate with their best interests at heart.

If you need any help with getting certified, or you just want to find out more information, feel free to reach out to us, we will be happy to talk you through it.
