Cyber Essentials – the business benefits

First and foremost, your business has the protection it needs to operate safely. The likelihood you’ll suffer a security breach and/or be held to ransom for money or information is greatly reduced.

Effective protection from cybercriminals and the most prevalent forms of attack
Reassurance for your customers and other businesses you take their safety as well as your own seriously
Being eligible to work with other businesses and apply for UK and EU tenders that require security certifcations, which is increasingly common

Cyber Essentials -
the 5 key controls

Devised by cybersecurity experts at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the 5 key controls of Cyber Essentials, when applied to your systems effectively 'lock out' cybercriminals and protect your network against the security threats they present.

Firewall and internet gateways - all internet-connected devices should have a correctly configured firewall.
Secure configuration for devices and software - default configurations leave devices open and easily connectable by cybercriminals
User access control - account permissions should be limited to what is required for the role.
Malware protection - sufficient antivirus and anti-malware protection, including against ransomware
Patching and updates - ensure all devices are kept up to date at all times
