What are the business benefits of Cyber Essentials certification?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cyber security scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber attacks.
For businesses, the benefits can go much further than cyber security alone.
Cyber Essentials certification can help you:
🔐 Reduce your exposure to common cyber threats
🔐 Demonstrate your commitment to cyber security
🔐 Build confidence with customers and clients
🔐Strengthen your position when competing for business
🔐 Meet Cyber Essentials requirements in relevant contracts and tenders
🔐 Provide assurance to organisations within your supply chain
🔐 Identify gaps in your existing cyber security
🔐 Improve your understanding of cyber risk
🔐 Access included cyber insurance if your organisation meets the eligibility criteria
🔐 Regularly review your security through annual certification
Government and NCSC-published research has reported that 79% of Cyber Essentials users believe certification positively affects customer and client confidence, while 69% believe it has increased their market competitiveness.
That's why Cyber Essentials isn't simply a certificate to put on your website.
It's a recognised way for UK businesses to strengthen fundamental cyber security controls while demonstrating to customers, suppliers and potential partners that cyber security is being taken seriously.
GP Computers helps UK businesses understand Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, prepare for the requirements and work towards certification.
