During this webinar, you will learn how Cyber Essentials certification can help your business stay protected from cyber threats.
- Cybercrime continues to evolve at an alarming rate and the sheer volume of cyber attacks increase each year. The Cyber Essentials scheme also evolves year on year and changes to the requirements reflect the risk assessment made by the experts at the National Cyber Security Centre. This ensures that the five controls of Cyber Essentials continue to protect UK businesses.
- Another notable factor in protecting your organisation from cyber threats is the act of going through the certification process itself. Working through the list of requirements each year acts as a check list for your organisation and this instigates you to stay on top of new and evolving security issues and address the details that may otherwise go unnoticed. It is good to have the independent checks in place.
- The controls of Cyber Essentials are effective at mitigating common cyber attacks. Recent National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) research has shown that organisations with the Cyber Essentials controls in place are 80% less likely to make cyber insurance claims than those without.
- Due to the effectiveness of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, they are being increasingly demanded within supply chains and for contract tenders. In 2023 the number of Cyber Essentials certified organisations grew by 21% and Cyber Essentials plus by 55%.
- Cyber Liability insurance of £25,000 is still included as part of Cyber Essentials, for qualifying organisations. This does not involve any additional cost or forms and the insurance cover includes a 24hr technical and legal incident response service.
