Cyber Essentials

What is Cyber Essentials

With over 80% of UK businesses vulnerable to avoidable security threats, the Cyber Essentials framework has been designed as a strong security baseline for every business in every industry. Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective Government backed scheme that will help you protect your business, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials is suitable for all organisations, of any size, in any sector.
