Cyber Security
Cyber Essentials Certification
Cyber Essentials is a recognised government backed scheme that helps businesses of all sizes keep their organisation and customers data safe from potential cyber attacks.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recommends the Cyber Essentials certification as a minimum requirement for businesses holding personally identifiable information (PPI), whether their own or that of their customers.
Cyber Essentials certification focuses on 5 key factors:
- Firewalls and Routers: Firewalls create a barrier between your network and the internet, Routers are your direct line to the internet.
- Security Update Management: Prevents unwanted intruders accessing your network through software vulnerabilities.
- User Access Control: Control who has access to your data, services and network.
- Malware Protection: Detect and eradicate viruses and other malicious software before it takes hold.
- Secure Configuration: Setup and configure computers and servers securely to minimise the ways a cyber-criminal can gain access.
At Internet Assist we can help businesses of any size achieve their Cyber Essentials Certificate of Assurance. We will ensure that all systems are compliant with the above 5 key factors. The Cyber Essentials certification is considered a valuable certification for businesses that want to show they take Cyber Security seriously and want to show their current and potential customers they are committed to keeping their data safe from cyber criminals.
Cyber Essentials Plus Certification
The Cyber Essentials certification must be obtained as a prerequisite to the Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
Unlike Cyber Essentials which is a self-assessment questionnaire, Cyber Essentials Plus is subject to an independent assessment and verification carried out by a fully certified external body.
