A Guide to The Cyber Essentials Scheme

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme that is suitable for small businesses and other organisations.

Its goal is to set out the basics of cybersecurity and guide organisations through the process of self-protection against cybersecurity risks.

Cyber Essentials covers all the basic security weaknesses that a business might have within its own IT systems and software. It works on the basis that straightforward but robust measures can have a big impact when it comes to external cybersecurity risks.

This factsheet outlines the standards that Cyber Essentials certification requires. It explains the five key areas of control, provides information about the steps to achieving certification and outlines the benefits of doing so.
