Cyber Essentials Certification

What is Cyber Essentials Certification?
Cyber Essentials is an industry-supported scheme, endorsed by the Government, to help protect organisations against common online threats. The scheme provides organisations with the opportunity to achieve two types of Cyber Essentials certification:
-
Cyber Essentials: is a self-certification process, whereby you complete the Cyber Essentials questionnaire, then it is quickly assessed by one of our cyber security experts. We offer Consultancy hours to go with this.
- Cyber Essentials Plus: involves an external and internal vulnerability scan of your network. Defensity Ltd is a Certified Cyber Essential Plus Certification Body. Due to the pandemic, this testing is currently performed remotely.

Why Does My Business Need Cyber Essentials Certification?
Cyber Essentials was launched in 2014, by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
The goal of the Cyber Essentials scheme is to provide businesses with an assurance that suppliers, vendors, and other partners they work with, have adequate security controls in place to prevent data breaches.
Now in 2021, most organisations already have Cyber Essentials Certification. If you don’t, you’re in the minority. Your business might also be suffering as a result.
- Without Cyber Essentials Certification, you are missing out on the opportunity to work with other businesses where there is a requirement to handle sensitive data.
- Not having Cyber Essentials Certification deters business investors.
- By holding no certification, you are unable to qualify for £25,000 of automatic indemnity cover if your business falls victim to a major hack or data breach.
How much does Cyber Essentials cost?
With 32% of businesses experiencing a cyber security breach in the last year*, the time is now to invest in Cyber Essentials certification.
The average cost of a data breach is in the £1000’s. With Defensity, you can protect your business from as little as the cost of a weekly cup of coffee – ensuring return on investment and justifying your Cyber Essentials cost.

How Cyber Essentials Certification Works
You will be sent a username to login to the Cyber Essentials Assessment portal, along with a password sent via text to your mobile.
After completing the questionnaire, our experts will analyse your results and provide feedback on areas that may need addressing.
Once all problem areas have been resolved and you have passed the assessment, we will send you your Cyber Essentials Certificate.
Cyber Essentials is Vital for Modern Business Longevity
In the age of GDPR and ever-increasing cyber security threats, it pays to take cyber security seriously. The risk to business relationships proves too great and may restrict business growth and development.
When tendering contracts, neither government agencies or UK businesses will entertain bids from organisations without NCSC Cyber Essentials Certification. Doing so can put their credibility at risk.
With Defensity, you can achieve Cyber Essentials Certification quickly and immediately improve your competitiveness and the credibility of your organisation.
