This government-endorsed initiative provides comprehensive defence against a variety of prevalent cyber threats. Maintaining a robust cybersecurity strategy is imperative, particularly in light of technological advancements and the continuously evolving threat landscape. We highly recommend our clients pursue Cyber Essentials accreditation as a vital element of their cyber security strategy.
What is Cyber Essentials?
The Cyber Essentials program, endorsed by the UK government and backed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), outlines five fundamental security controls capable of shielding organisations against 80% of typical cyber attacks.
This framework aims to assist organizations, regardless of their size, in showcasing their dedication to cybersecurity while maintaining a straightforward approach and cost-effectiveness.
Certification for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus is overseen by the IASME Consortium (IASME), which grants certification bodies the authority to conduct the certification process.

Endpoint Security Why it is important for your business
An endpoint is any device connected to a network or IT system. This includes laptops, mobile phones, desktops, IoT devices, servers and virtual environments. Endpoint security is vital as endpoints can be points of entry for cybercriminals. If a hacker gains access to an endpoint and executes malicious code, they can potentially access private data or launch a more significant attack.
