What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed cybersecurity accreditation developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It provides organisations with a clear framework to defend against common cyber threats and ensures that sensitive records and data remain secure.
The accreditation process
Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation involves a hands-on technical audit conducted by a qualified assessor. This process includes a comprehensive vulnerability assessment to determine whether an attacker could gain access to our systems, checks for robust malware protection, verification of multi-factor authentication, and a thorough review of user account security.
