Cyber Essentials Certification

Cyber Essentials Logo

Cyber Essentials is a simple yet highly effective UK Government-backed certification scheme, supported by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), designed for organisations of all sizes and sectors.

It helps protect against the most common cyber threats while demonstrating a commitment to cyber security to clients, partners, suppliers, and regulators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my organisation need Cyber Essentials?

MBS IT Ltd is committed to helping organisations build secure, resilient, and modern IT environments.

We are strong advocates of Cyber Essentials certification and have first-hand experience in achieving it ourselves. From the outset, we'll work closely with you to assess your current cyber security posture, identify any areas that require attention, and provide practical guidance to help you achieve Cyber Essentials certification smoothly and confidently.

What is cyber insurance?

One of the additional benefits of Cyber Essentials certification is the included cyber insurance for eligible organisations. This provides financial protection and access to specialist support in the event of certain cyber security incidents, helping to reduce the impact of threats such as cyber attacks, data breaches, and business disruption. Combined with the security improvements gained through certification, it offers added peace of mind for your organisation.

What's involved in the process?

Our experienced team will guide you through each stage, providing practical advice and support to help you implement the required security controls and achieve certification.

In addition to strengthening your organisation's cyber security, Cyber Essentials certification can enhance customer confidence, demonstrate your commitment to protecting data, and help meet the requirements of certain contracts, tenders, and cyber insurance providers.

What is the difference with Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed certification that verifies your organisation has implemented essential cyber security controls.

Cyber Essentials Plus includes an additional independent technical audit, where a qualified assessor tests your systems to confirm those controls are effective. While both certifications demonstrate a commitment to cyber security, Cyber Essentials Plus provides a higher level of assurance and credibility.
