When working with organisations, a lot of them struggle to understand the patching requirements to ensure they are Cyber Essentials compliant.  It’s crucial for organisations to keep all tech up to date. This can include, tablets, phones, laptop or computers. You must make sure that the operating systems as well as the software and apps you use are all kept up to date. These updates not only introduce new features but also fix any security vulnerabilities they discover. Applying these updates, known as “patching,” is one of the most vital steps you can take to enhance security.  For Cyber Essentials Certification, it’s mandatory to keep all software up to date.
