YOUR PROTECTIVE SHIELD IN THE DIGITAL REALM
Cyber Essentials is a set of baseline security standards and guidelines, developed for organisations to follow in order to protect themselves against common cyber threats.
What is Cyber Essentials and what is involved?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme that helps organisations, regardless of their size or sector, demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity best practices.
The scheme focuses on five key areas:
- Firewalls and Internet Gateways: Ensuring that these are configured to protect against unauthorised access and cyberattacks.
- Secure Configuration: Setting up systems securely and keeping them up to date with the latest security patches.
- User Access Control: Managing user access to systems and data, limiting it to authorised personnel only.
- Malware Protection: Implementing measures to defend against malware, including viruses and ransomware.
- Patch Management: Keeping software and operating systems up to date with security patches.
Organisations can achieve Cyber Essentials certification by undergoing a self-assessment or a more rigorous assessment by a certification body. This certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and stakeholders that an organisation takes cybersecurity seriously and has implemented fundamental cybersecurity practices to protect its digital assets and sensitive information.
