Why is the Cyber Essentials
accreditation important?
Becoming Cyber Essentials certified is essential for organisations that prioritise increasing customer trust and securing sensitive data—and it’s increasingly becoming mandatory for securing for government contracts.
Give your teams and customers peace of mind that you have all the fundamentals of cyber security nailed down and that your business (and their important data) is fortified against cyber-attacks.
By undergoing a Cyber Essentials certification, you will:
Reduce your cyber risk by 80%
Gain peace of mind that you’re protected against the most prolific cyber attacks
Become a stronger contender for government contracts, due to Cyber Essentials accreditations becoming compulsory to enter a bid
Save hours of time in the long-run- as the average time it takes to resolve an attack is 50 full working days
Build trust among your customers, partners, and stakeholders that you are adequately protecting sensitive data
Get featured on a directory of accredited companies, allowing you to win more business
