What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against cyber-attacks.
The certification covers five areas that protect against basic cyber attacks: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection.
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment, giving you and your customers peace of mind that you are protected.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a higher certification requiring a third party to verify your compliance.
Why do we need Cyber Essentials?
Here are some benefits to being Cyber Essentials certified:
Certification gives you and your customer confidence that you protect your operations against common cyber attacks.
Many government contracts and large enterprises require Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
Certification can reduce cyber insurance costs and simplify compliance questionnaires by stating that.

Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials (CE) is a government-backed scheme aimed at helping organisations do what matters most for cybersecurity.
The basic scheme is a self-assessment-based accreditation, where you provide details on how you’re set up and secured. If you cover the required security practice, you’re awarded Cyber Essentials accreditation, which can be verified by third parties at iasme.co.uk/certified-organisations.
What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) adds an external audit to the basic accreditation.
Having an external auditor verify that you’re doing what you say you do assures any organisation that needs to be extra-vigilant about the security of their suppliers and partners.
