Following on from the confirmation of us passing Cyber Essentials, we can now confirm that we have successfully passed Cyber Essentials Plus showing our dedication to Ccyber security within our own business.
What is Cyber Essentials Plus & how can it benefit your business?
Cyber Essentials Plus offers a more rigorous evaluation of cybersecurity measures when comparing it to the basic Cyber Essentials, providing greater assurance to stakeholders compared to the basic Cyber Essentials certification. Although we recommend the basic Cyber Essentials for everyone, there are certain benefits that can come from having the all import "Plus".
1. Enhanced Protection Against Cyber Threats
Implementing the five key controls required by Cyber Essentials Plus can reduce vulnerability to common cyber attacks by 80-85%, significantly lowering the risk of malware infections and data breaches.
2. Increased Customer Trust and Reputation
Cyber Essentials Plus certification signals to clients and partners that your organisation prioritises cybersecurity, enhancing your reputation and potentially attracting more business.
3. Improved Internal Security Processes
The certification process provides a framework for assessing and enhancing cybersecurity measures, helping IT teams better manage security protocols.
4. Independent Verification and Higher Assurance
Unlike basic Cyber Essentials certification, Cyber Essentials Plus involves an independent audit, offering a more accurate evaluation of your organisation’s security measures.
5. Compliance and Government Contract Eligibility
While not legally required, Cyber Essentials Plus aligns with data security regulations and is often necessary for bidding on UK government contracts.
