Cyber Essentials

UK Government Backed Baseline

Protect your business against 80% of the most common cyber attacks. Cyber Essentials is rapidly becoming a mandatory requirement for supply chains and cyber insurance.

Why It Matters Next Year

Cyber Essentials (CE) focuses on five core technical controls. While it has been around for years, the enforcement by insurance underwriters and B2B vendor management teams is accelerating drastically.

  • Insurance Requirement: Many carriers will not quote without it.
  • Supply Chain Defense: Proves to larger enterprise clients you take security seriously.
  • Ransomware Prevention: Solid implementation of the 5 controls severely limits ransomware blast radius.
