What is the Cyber Essentials Scheme?

The Cyber Essentials scheme is a programme developed by the UK government to help organisations, both in the public and private sectors, protect themselves against cyber attacks.

It was launched in 2014 as part of the UK’s National Cyber Security Strategy and is designed to encourage good Cyber Security practices and raise the overall level of Cyber Security in the country.

What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are both certification schemes designed to help organisations protect against cyber threats. Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment-based certification that confirms you have essential security measures in place, such as firewalls, secure configurations, and access controls. In contrast, Cyber Essentials Plus includes the same requirements but involves a hands-on, independent audit to verify your security measures are effective.

At SecQuest, we can provide expert advice to help you meet these standards and offer Cyber Essentials Plus audits to ensure your organisation’s defences are robust and compliant with the standard.
