What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is an annually re-tested accreditation around basic security steps which is assessed by a registered 3rd party.  Consisting of several sections focusing on different aspects of your systems, networks and working practices.  It is seen by most as the MINIMUM level of security assessment that an organization should be meeting to show that they take the safety of their systems, data, and client information seriously.  Successful completion displays your commitment to personal data and systems security.  More information can be found here about the scheme https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/cyber-essentials-technical-requirements-updated-for-april-2023 .
