Cyber Essentials
What is Cyber Essentials?
The Cyber Essentials scheme is based on the ’10 Steps to Cyber Security’ which was launched by the government in 2012. Within this the government urged companies to take ownership of their cyber risks and ensure a minimum level of cyber security. Despite this many companies continued to leave themselves open to attacks.
Following a call for a standard to be introduced for organisational cyber security the Cyber Essentials scheme was formalised in November 2013.
The Cyber Essentials scheme identifies the security controls that a company should have in place to mitigate the risk from cyber threats.
