Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that proves your organisation is protected against the most common cyber threats.

Implementing just five key controls reduces risk, builds protection and gives stakeholders verified assurance that your organisation prioritises cyber security and meets the UK minimum standard for cyber security.

Cyber Essentials also forms a supply chain assurance tool. The government already requires most of its suppliers to meet Cyber Essentials standards. Embedding the same requirements across supply chains can help address the challenges that many organisations face in securing and effectively managing their supply chain. A new Supplier Check tool provides a view across your supply chain, to quickly verify whether your suppliers have been certified.

Early Warning

For many organisations, the cost of network monitoring is prohibitive, and the specialist skills it requires often aren’t available in-house. Early Warning is a free service designed to warn organisations of potential cyber attacks on their network, as soon as possible, potentially giving invaluable time to detect and stop a cyber incident before it escalates.

Cyber Action Toolkit 

The Cyber Action Toolkit is a free, personalised cyber security solution for sole traders to small organisations that turns cyber protection into simple, achievable steps for your business.

Just like you'd install a lock on your shop door, this toolkit helps you secure your business with straightforward actions tailored to your size and situation.

It guides you through building stronger cyber protection at your own pace, with built-in features that recognise your progress – providing a starting point to cyber security and a pathway towards Cyber Essentials certification.
