What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government backed scheme, giving organisations protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks.

It comprises two levels of certification, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Cyber Essentials – a self-assessment option gives you protection against a wide variety of the most common attacks. This is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark you out as target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others.

Cyber Essentials Plus - Cyber Essentials Plus still has the Cyber Essentials trademark simplicity of approach, and the protections you need to put in place are the same, but for Cyber Essentials Plus a hands-on technical verification is carried out.

As a Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification body, we can help you obtain your certification quickly and easily. Get in touch with our team to start your certification journey.

The Certification Process

Vertical Structure makes the process simple and straightforward. Our team of experts will work with you to perform a GAP analysis highlighting areas which need to be resolved, consult with you on any fixes that should be addressed and when ready, perform the final assessment.

You don’t need any technical expertise either as our team will guide you through the entire process, start to finish.

The Benefits

Cyber Essentials will give you peace of mind that your defences will protect against the most common types of cyber attacks. Simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials controls in place.

Both levels of certification help companies to:

• Attract new business with the promise that you have robust cyber security measures in place
• Give a clear view of your organisation’s cyber security level
• Enable involvement with governmental contracts that require this certification.

Our team can advise you on how to address your basic security gaps and help strengthen your overall cyber resilience.
