Cyber Essentials: Simple Cybersecurity, Big Impact
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification that helps protect your business from the most common cyber threats. It shows your clients, partners, and regulators that you take data protection seriously — and that you're proactively keeping your systems secure.
Whether you're a sole trader, small team, or growing business, Cyber Essentials offers a clear, practical framework for basic security.

- Protect Your Business: Reduce your risk of attacks like malware, phishing, and ransomware.
- Work with Government & Larger Contracts: Cyber Essentials is often a requirement for bidding on public sector work.
