Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus -
What’s the Difference?
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are variations of a certification program established by the UK government that provides basic guidelines and best practices for organisations to secure their computer systems and networks against cyber threats.
Cyber Essentials covers five key areas: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. To achieve this certification, businesses must complete a self-assessment questionnaire and have it independently verified. Click Here for more information
Cyber Essentials Plus is a more advanced certification that includes all of the requirements of the basic certification, but also includes an external vulnerability scan and an on site assessment. This provides organisations with a higher level of assurance that their systems are secure and helps them to demonstrate their commitment to cyber security to customers and partners.
