Cyber Essentials Plus

Overview

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-endorsed standard designed to help businesses of all sizes minimise their security risk and demonstrate a commitment to the protection of personal information relating to employees, customers, partners and investors.

The Cyber Essentials scheme, part of the UK’s National Cyber Security Programme, is designed to help businesses of all sizes minimise their security risk and demonstrate a commitment to the protection of personal information relating to employees, customers, partners and investors. Cyber Essentials covers common security threats such as malware infections, social engineering attacks and hacking. It involves an annually verified assessment of key security controls that can help organisations to defend against common attack vectors that target enterprise-level and corporate IT systems.

Cyber Essentials Plus is the second level of the certification, requiring a hands-on technical verification of security controls. Incluzion Business Solutions offers organisations the in-depth security knowledge and assessment services required to obtain Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
