Cyber Essentials Plus Certification Success!

Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. This programme is designed to prevent these attacks.

Having held Cyber Essentials Accreditation for some time, Cyber Essentials PLUS was the next stage of our security journey which we achieved last year. It is an annual process which involves rigorous effort over many weeks, including both independent internal and external tests of our network and computers. Successful accreditation against Cyber Essential Plus provides a higher level of assurance that the organisation has a strong cyber security regime with correctly implemented controls thereby maintaining a robust defence against Internet-based attacks.
