Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
Heard of Cyber Essentials? It’s the UK government’s way of helping businesses prove they’ve got the basics of cybersecurity nailed – no geek speak, no endless paperwork, just the essentials. It’s your digital “seal of approval” that shows customers you take protecting their data seriously and that you’ve locked the virtual doors to keep the bad guys out.
And don’t worry… we’ll guide you through it all. From what’s needed now to what’s next, we’ll make getting certified simple, smooth, and completely stress-free (well, as stress-free as anything involving cyber security can be).
