Cyber Essentials

Cyber crime doesn’t rest,
so neither should you.

What is Cyber Essentials?

To put it simply, Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme set up to help organisations of all sizes stay protected from the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, but many remain basic in nature. Cyber Essentials will guard against the most common cyber threats and ensure that your business stays safe.

Calder IT will support you to become Cyber Essentials Certified, and then ensure that you remain compliant so that recertification is smooth. What customers appreciate is the subscription service, so that payment is spread evenly throughout the year and assessment (and reassessment) happens as scheduled.

Around 80percent of cyber attacks could be prevented

Why your business needs Cyber Essentials

Unfortunately, the threat of cyber attacks is increasing each day, NCSC report that 7.7milliion cyber crimes were experienced by businesses over the past year-that is around half of all businesses in the UK.

The good news though is

  • 92% fewer insurance claims are made by organisations with Cyber Essentials
  • 89% of organisations would recommend certifying to other organisations like theirs, as they are more trusted
  • 69% of those with Cyber Essentials believe that it has increased their market competitiveness
  • 88% believe that Cyber Essentials has improved their understanding of cyber security risks

No matter what size your business is or what you expert in, being Cyber Essentials certified has become non-negotiable. Without it, you are essentially leaving your front door open to criminals.

It is important to note that some government and business contracts require Cyber Essentials certification. Therefore, getting certified is a no brainer.

How do I become Cyber Essentials certified?

Route 1:

Becoming Cyber Essentials certified will ensure protection from a range of the most common cyber attacks. This is vital because known vulnerabilities to the smallest of attacks can set you up as a target for bigger, meaner, and more harmful cyber criminals.

With Cyber Essentials implemented, you can rest easy, knowing your business has protection from the most common cyber attacks. These attackers are looking for organisations that are not Cyber Essentials certified, making you no longer a target.
