Essentials Scheme

 

Essentials Scheme

This cyber security essentials scheme is government backed and brings to light 5 controls that can help you avoid around 80% of cyber attacks when carried out properly. These 5 controls are:

  • Malware Protection
  • Access controls and administrative privilege management
  • Secure Configuration
  • Boundary firewalls and internet gateways
  • Patch Management

The scheme can be used within all sectors and for all types of organisations and within it; there are 2 levels that your organisation is able to choose from:

  • Cyber Essentials (self assessment questionnaire + vulnerability scan)
  • Cyber Essentials Plus (all of the above, plus an on-site assessment + an internal scan)

You are able to take part in a questionnaire via the ‘cyberaware’ website, and this will show you how well your company measures up against the 5 controls. From there you can then decide whether or not to pursue applying for one of the Cyber Essentials badges.

Feel free to talk to one of CyberGuys on - our team of experts are experienced in their field, however we keep the jargon to a minimum, friendly, helpful and happy to answer any questions you may have.
