What Is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, UK Government backed scheme that will help your organisation to effectively establish the five core controls that have been shown to prevent most cyber attacks. As an organisation, you will assess yourself against five basic security controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.

The Five Core Controls

  • Firewalls: Ensure that only safe and necessary network services can be accessed from the Internet.
  • Secure Configuration: Ensure that computers and network devices are properly configured.
  • User Access Control: Ensure user accounts are assigned to authorised individuals only.
  • Malware Protection: Restrict execution of known malware and untrusted software.
  • Security Update Management: Ensure that devices and software are not vulnerable to known security issues for which fixes are available.
