The widespread adoption of digital technology for products and services has made basic cyber security essential to every business that connects to the internet. In an effort to level up cyber security across the UK, the NCSC (The National Cyber Security Centre) is extending its reach to offer trusted sources of cyber security advice to a wider range of organisations.

It is critical that businesses can access such protection as it helps contribute to the wider national security picture in the UK. The NCSC understands this and therefore continues to be a driving force in helping organisations to better protect themselves from cyber attacks through its various schemes and resources.

Part of this drive has resulted in the formation of the Cyber Advisor Scheme. The scheme assists organisations in identifying the necessary skills and advice to implement basic levels of cyber security. It also helps organisations understand and apply trusted cyber security advice (from assured providers such as ourselves), as many struggle to choose the right help despite the growing emphasis on cyber security.

As an assured provider, our in-house cyber advisors can help guide your organisation in becoming more cyber aware. We can help you implement the necessary controls required to build your resilience to possible cyber attacks. In particular, certification to Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

To date, Vertical Structure is among only a small group of businesses across the UK that has so far achieved this status. And, we're extremely proud to be the only NCSC Assured Service Provider that is based in Northern Ireland.

If we can help advise you on cyber security matters within your business, including Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, then please do drop us a message.
