What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is an annually renewable certification scheme aligned with the UK Government’s baseline cyber security standard, focusing on five key controls to protect against common online threats.
The advice offered by Cyber Advisors will help organisations improve their cyber security and prepare for Cyber Essentials. Organisations that wish to certify to Cyber Essentials will need to apply through a Cyber Essentials Certification Body. Many Cyber Advisors work closely with a Certification Body or indeed, hold both roles themselves.
