Cyber Essentials is a UK government scheme to educate business about the most basic elements for cyber security
Firewalls
Patching
Antivirus/malware detection
Etc
Company can be certified, which shows to your customers that you are aware of the risks and have mitigated some risk and are applying the best practices
There is funding for SMEs to become Cyber Essentials Certified
A case study from an SME detailing how they went about becoming certified sounded really interesting (and there is funding available)
After a few questions and answers, I’ve applied for funding for work and will start on the process of being certified!
Company I work for are certifified for Cyber Essentials, we recently started doing this a couple of years ago, we got our uk offices certified.
