Cyber Essentials is an effective, Government backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a full range of the most common cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are basic in nature, conducted by relatively unskilled individuals. They are the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it is unlocked. Cyber Essentials controls are designed to combat these attacks.   Cyber Essentials Plus maintains the trademark simplicity of approach found in Cyber Essentials, while also incorporating the necessary safeguards. However, in the case of Cyber Essentials Plus, an on-site technical verification is performed.
