What is Cyber Essentials?

In an increasingly digital world, cybersecurity (learn more about that here) has never been more important. Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification designed to help businesses protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. By implementing the security controls outlined in Cyber Essentials, organisations can significantly reduce their risk of falling victim to cyberattacks.

Why does Cyber Essentials Matter?

Cyber threats are evolving at a rapid pace, and no business is immune. Shockingly, only 6% of UK businesses hold a Cyber Essentials certification, leaving the majority vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber Essentials not only strengthens your business’s security posture but also builds credibility and trust among customers, partners and stakeholders.

Beyond enhancing security, obtaining Cyber Essentials certification provides a strategic advantage. 69% of certified businesses report increased competitiveness and 85% feel they have a stronger understanding of cyber risks and how to reduce them. Strengthening your cybersecurity posture not only protects your business but also builds credibility and trust among customers, partners and stakeholders.
