Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus Certification
At Host My Office, we understand the paramount importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital age. With cyber threats evolving at an unprecedented rate, ensuring your business’s data and IT infrastructure are protected is not just a necessity—it’s a critical aspect of maintaining trust, integrity, and the ongoing success of your enterprise. This is where our specialised services in guiding you through the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification processes come into play.
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry-supported scheme designed to help organisations of all sizes. Certification assures your clients, investors, and partners that you take cybersecurity seriously and have measures in place to mitigate potential cyber threats to your systems and data.
Key benefits of obtaining Cyber Essentials certification include
- Prove to customers that cyber security is a priority in your organisation
- Implementing just the five controls required for certification can address up to 80% of common cyber-attacks.
- Showcase to your stakeholders that your organisation prioritises and actively invests in cybersecurity.
- Many government contracts, and government suppliers require Cyber Essentials certification, making it a must-have for securing public sector work.
Cyber Essentials operates on a self-assessment questionnaire format, enabling organisations of all sizes to confidently address key areas of their operations, including employees, devices, and work locations.
Participants will tackle essential questions concerning the five core controls: user access control, secure configuration, security update management, firewalls, and malware protection.
All answers must be endorsed by a board member or equivalent, followed by an independent assessor’s review to ensure integrity.
Upon successfully passing the assessment, you will receive your certificate and be proudly featured in our directory of certified organisations. Display your digital Cyber Essentials certificate on your website and email footer with confidence.
Elevating Security with Cyber Essentials Plus
- Cyber Essentials Plus offers a higher level of assurance through the independent testing of your organization’s security controls—making sure that you not only have the right tools and policies but that they are mitigating your cyber threats
- This includes a more detailed assessment that involves:
- A full scan of your systems to detect vulnerabilities.
- A full audit and a penetration test.
- An internal scan and assessment of your network.
