In today’s interconnected world, cybersecurity is of paramount importance for businesses of all sizes. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and organisations must take proactive measures to protect themselves and their customers’ data from cybercriminals. Cyber Essentials Plus is a certification scheme that can help organisations achieve a baseline level of cybersecurity and demonstrate their commitment to protecting sensitive information.
Cyber Essentials Plus is an extension of the Cyber Essentials scheme, which was launched in 2014 by the UK government to help organisations implement basic cybersecurity controls. Cyber Essentials Plus goes a step further by requiring a more rigorous assessment of an organisation’s security systems, including vulnerability scanning and an on-site assessment of its security measures.
To achieve Cyber Essentials Plus certification, organisations must demonstrate that they have implemented five key cybersecurity controls: boundary firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. These controls are designed to protect against common cyber threats and provide a baseline level of protection.
Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification can provide numerous benefits for organisations. Firstly, it can help to protect the organisation against cyber attacks by identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities. Secondly, it can provide a competitive advantage, as customers and partners are increasingly looking for evidence of strong cybersecurity measures. Finally, it can provide peace of mind, knowing that the organisation is taking proactive steps to protect its sensitive information.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a valuable certification scheme and D2 Integrated Systems are proud to qualify for the certification for organisations. By implementing the required controls and achieving certification, D2 integrated Systems can demonstrate their commitment to protecting their sensitive information and gain a competitive advantage in today’s digital landscape.
