Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber attacks are on the rise and the implications of an attack are often wide ranging and costly. Every business is a potential victim as commercially sensitive information, intellectual property and business strategies are attractive targets for cyber criminals. Failure to adequately protect against cyber-threats and prevent data loss can lead to share price and revenue impact, financial penalties and reputational damage.

At CNS we exist to alleviate these concerns by implementing the correct systems to protect your organisation now and in the future.

Cyber Essentials is an industry supported certification scheme developed by the UK Government. The certification scheme provides criteria for organisations to measure their cyber-security systems by measuring and implementing 5 key controls, that can prevent 80% of cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials has been developed to address the need for government and wider industry to ensure that their partners and suppliers are implementing a standard level of cyber security.

Certification in Cyber Essentials not only builds confidence in an organisation achieving certification, but allows the organisation to provide evidence to its customers and stakeholders that their data is resilient against cyber threats.
