What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a simple and effective Government scheme designed to help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They‚ are the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it's unlocked. Our Cyber Essentials advice is designed to prevent these attacks.

Cyber Essentials

With Cyber Essentials it is possible to take a self-assessment option that gives you protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks. This is important because vulnerability to simple attacks can mark you out as a target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cybercriminals and others.

With certification, you gain peace of mind that your organisation's defences will always be protected against the vast majority of common cyber attacks. Cybercriminals are simply looking for targets that do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.

Cyber Essentials shows you how to address those basics and prevent the most common attacks.

Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus

A second Cyber Essentials option is the Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Cyber Essentials is just the start in The One point's ability to protect your business - discover more.

The difference lies in the technical verification. With Cyber Essentials Plus a hands-on technical verification is carried out. The protections you need to put in place are the same do not change, neither does the simplicity of the scheme.

Alternatively, you can familiarise yourself with cybersecurity terminology. Knowledge is power with cybersecurity and will help you learn where to begin when securing your IT.
