Protect Your Business with Government-Backed Cyber Security Certification

Cyber threats continue to evolve, placing businesses of all sizes at risk from ransomware, phishing attacks, data breaches and system downtime. Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations strengthen their cyber security and demonstrate their commitment to protecting business and customer data.

As an accredited Cyber Essentials delivery partner, Intuitive Computer Management can guide your business through the entire certification process, helping you achieve compliance quickly and with minimal disruption.

 

What is Cyber Essentials?

 
Cyber Essentials is a recognised cyber security certification developed by the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It focuses on five key technical controls that help protect organisations against the majority of common cyber threats.

Firewalls and Internet Security

Ensuring your network is protected from unauthorised access and malicious activity.

Secure Configuration

Reducing vulnerabilities by ensuring devices, software and systems are configured securely.

User Access Control

Restricting access to systems and data so employees only have access to what they need.

Malware Protection

Implementing appropriate anti-virus and endpoint security solutions to protect against malicious software.

Security Update Management

Keeping operating systems, applications and devices updated with the latest security patches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cyber Essentials Certification Support

Cyber Essentials Certification Support helps your business prepare for and achieve Cyber Essentials certification. It includes reviewing your existing IT systems, identifying any areas that need improvement, guiding you through the assessment process and helping you meet the required security standards.

Cyber Essentials is suitable for organisations of all sizes, but it is particularly valuable for small and medium-sized businesses that handle sensitive data, work with larger organisations or bid for public sector contracts. Many tenders now require Cyber Essentials certification as a minimum requirement.

Our team will guide you through the entire certification journey. We’ll assess your current IT environment, explain any technical requirements in plain English, recommend any necessary improvements and support you through the certification process, making it as straightforward as possible.

The time required depends on your existing security measures. If your systems already meet the required standards, certification can often be achieved within a few days. If improvements are needed, we’ll help you implement them as quickly as possible before submitting your assessment.

Cyber Essentials certification helps protect your business against common cyber threats, demonstrates your commitment to cyber security, improves customer confidence and can open the door to new business opportunities where certification is required as part of the procurement process.

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment certification that is independently verified by an accredited certification body. Cyber Essentials Plus includes an additional hands-on technical audit to confirm that your cyber security controls are working effectively, providing an even higher level of assurance.
