WHAT IS CYBER ESSENTIALS?

Cyber Essentials (CE) is a government-backed scheme that arms organisations with the knowledge and tools to defend against the most common cyber threats.

Developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), it guides businesses and charitable organisations through the process of implementing crucial security controls, minimising, and mitigating risks including phishing, ransomware, and unauthorised access such as data breaches.

The scheme offers two levels: Cyber Essentials (CE) and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+). A self-assessment that evaluates your organisations adherence to five core controls is followed by an assessment conducted by an IASME accredited certification body. After the successful organisations are granted CE certification. Going one step further, Cyber Essentials Plus outlines necessary system-level safeguards and tests the basic level of controls required to meet the standard are implemented, providing an extra layer of security.
