Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations protect themselves from the most common cyber threats. It focuses on five key areas: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. By implementing these controls, organisations reduce the risk of a cyber attack and can demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity.
The key benefits include: Protection against common threats: Cyber Essentials helps defend against common attacks like phishing, malware, and hacking. Boosts reputation: Certification demonstrates your commitment to cybersecurity, which can enhance trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders. Compliance with regulations: Some contracts, especially within the UK public sector, require Cyber Essentials certification. Insurance benefits: Some cyber insurance policies offer favorable terms or discounts for certified organizations.
The cost of Cyber Essentials certification depends on the size and complexity of your organisation. For the basic Cyber Essentials certification, it typically costs around £300-£500. The more comprehensive Cyber Essentials Plus certification, which involves an external assessment, can cost more, depending on the assessor and the scope of the audit.
The time it takes to achieve Cyber Essentials certification can vary depending on the organisation’s preparedness. For the basic Cyber Essentials certification, it typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly the self-assessment questionnaire is completed and reviewed. If you’re opting for Cyber Essentials Plus, the process can take longer—potentially several weeks—due to the need for an external audit and any remediation work required after the initial assessment.
