To achieve certification, your organisation is assessed against five key technical controls:
- Firewalls and Internet Gateways
- Secure Configuration
- User Access Control
- Malware Protection
- Security Update Management (Patch Management)
The process involves completing an online questionnaire covering your security policies and practices. At Flex IT, we offer two options: an assessment-only package or a guided support package – so you can choose the level of help that best fits your needs.
Cyber Essentials offers businesses peace of mind by protecting against the most common cyber threats. Certification not only strengthens your security protection but also demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that you take data protection seriously. It can help you win new business, meet compliance requirements, and build trust, all while reducing the risk of costly downtime or breaches.
