NCSC Approved Cyber Advisor for Cyber Essentials and able certify organisations for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
Cyber Essentials is an effective scheme that seeks to help organisations, regardless of size, improve their cyber resilience and protect themselves against the most common cyber attacks, it helps them demonstrate their commitment to cyber security. Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, the scheme requirements are designed to prevent these attacks. Common vulnerabilities can mark an organisation out for more targeted in-depth and unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others. Certification can provide assurance to the organisation and other stakeholders that defences are in place that will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.
