The Cyber Essentials Scheme & Certificate
What is the Cyber Essentials Scheme? – In response to rising Internet security risks and the unique challenges faced by Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the UK government has implemented the Cyber Essentials Scheme. This scheme is a crucial step towards safeguarding the UK’s online business environment. Achieving Cyber Essentials accreditation enables SMEs to demonstrate that they have implemented the necessary level of Cyber Security.
The Cyber Essentials Certificate – The Cyber Essentials Certification is a government-backed cyber security accreditation. As a primary certification for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), it covers router and firewall protection, backups, access control, virus and malware protection, and timely software updates. Organisations that achieve this certification demonstrate their commitment to defending against cyber threats. The certification affirms an organisation’s commitment to cybersecurity best practices as part of the UK’s national strategy for online business safety.
What Does Cyber Essentials Cover?
The Cyber Essentials program encompasses a wide range of security measures that are fundamental to protecting an organisation from common online threats. These include:
Essential for safeguarding network access.
Includes backups, ensuring that vital information can be restored if necessary.
This covers user approvals, password policies, and access privileges to prevent unauthorised entry.
A necessity for every computer, regularly updated to fend off evolving threats.
Maintaining the security of Operating Systems by keeping them up-to-date.
Together, these components provide a robust defence against the most prevalent cyber threats.
