Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification program designed to protect organisations against cyber threats and attacks.
Cyber Essentials is a 'technical audit' of all internal IT systems within the business. Each member of our team and leadership answer a self-assessment questionnaire about employees, their devices, routers, firewalls, software, location and more. The answers to each questionnaire are then received by assessors for marking.
