Could your business pass Cyber Essentials? Take the 2-minute test

Cybersecurity has become a growing concern for businesses over the last few years.

With cyber attacks, online vulnerabilities and data breaches becoming increasingly common, the UK Government backs Cyber Essentials as a practical way for organisations to improve their basic cyber security.

Cyber Essentials focuses on five key technical controls designed to help protect businesses against many of the most common internet-based cyber threats.

But would your business actually pass?

You might already have:

• Antivirus software
• Microsoft 365
• A firewall
• Regular software updates
• Multi-factor authentication

But having security tools in place doesn’t necessarily mean your business meets the Cyber Essentials requirements.

Cyber Essentials certification currently starts from £320 + VAT, depending on the size of your organisation.

So before going through the full assessment, it can be useful to understand where your business currently stands.
