Cyber Essentials Plus is a certification scheme that helps businesses implement a set of basic security controls that can protect against common cyber threats. These controls include firewalls, secure configuration, access control, patch management, and malware protection. To achieve the certification, businesses must undergo an independent assessment of their security controls by a certified certification body.

By implementing the required controls, businesses can significantly reduce their risk of a cyber attack. Furthermore, it demonstrates well to customers and stakeholders that they take cyber security seriously, therefore increasing their reputation. Many larger companies and government departments now require suppliers to have Cyber Essentials Plus as part of their procurement process.

A single data breach can have a significant impact on a business, leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and legal penalties. This is where Cyber Essentials Plus comes in - a government-backed certification scheme that helps businesses protect themselves against cyber threats.
