Cyber Essentials Basic

The government backed accreditation that helps you demonstrate your commitment to cyber security and protecting your users data.

What is Cyber Essentials?

The Cyber Essentials Scheme was created by both the UK Government and the industry to help design a basic set of requirements that all businesses could apply with limited experience of cyber security. Businesses which work to apply those requirements can then publicly demonstrate their commitment to cyber security via the Cyber Essentials Badge.

The process of achieving Cyber Essentials has been designed to be easy and low cost as well as proividing a minimum standard in Cyber Security. It has been proven to show that companies which have Cyber Essentials can mitigate upto 80% of known cyber threats.

How does it work?

The Cyber Essentials scheme is based upon a set of five security controls which, when correctly deployed, will provide you with a level of protection from the most common cyber security threats. These controls apply to a defined scope, which could be part or all of your company, depending upon your needs.

Firewalls

By ensuring that your boundary firewalls are configured to only allow authorised inbound and outbound traffic, this will help to effectively protect your business against cyber threats.

Secure Configuration

By ensuring that security controls have been agreed and put in place when installing computers and mobile/network devices, will help ensure that configurations in default settings are reduced.

Access Control

Making sure that user accounts are configured with the level of access which is needed will help reduce network wide threats. Using least priviledge access should be applied to all accounts.

Malware Protection

Making sure proper malware protection is in place on all devices will help you protect your business against cyber threats such as ransomware and viruses which may run throughout the network.

Patch Management

By keeping your software up to date with the latest security updates is important as well as helping to reduce the changes of devices being compromised.
