Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for SMEs

Your Cyber Essentials certification represents a government-backed scheme which, when accredited, demonstrates your commitment to best practice, protects you from the most common cyber threats and displays your commitment to cyber security to other businesses and sectors.

Cyber Essentials is also a powerful tool to help drive down Insurance costs, saving you money by following some simple best practices.

Being one of the few IASME accredited certification bodies in the North East, we’re uniquely positioned to guide and support you in achieving this globally recognised standard. This means there’s no need to rely on a third-party auditor, dramatically speeding up turnaround times.

What’s the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment certification measured against five core controls: boundary defence, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same ground but includes an additional layer of verification through an independent technical audit. Where Cyber Essentials provides a foundation of cyber security assurance, Cyber Essentials Plus offers a higher level of confidence ensuring the implemented controls are effective and robust.

How to get your Cyber Essentials certification? Test Your Entire System

From networks and applications to social engineering, penetration testing services span your entire environment. Where network pen testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within your network infrastructure, including servers, firewalls, switches, routers and workstations, application penetration testing targets the security of your web and mobile applications such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Social engineering involves testing the human element of your team using phishing, pretexting and baiting.

Proactive Protection

Regular penetration testing ensures continuous security assessments and regular updates, giving you the edge on emerging threats. Pen testing is crucial for identifying, learning from and mitigating network-based exploits, enhancing your overall network security and protecting business-critical assets and sensitive data. Regular network pen testing, with simulated attacks, ensures that your network remains secure against evolving threat.

Every interaction with ITC is a positive one. The call handlers and the engineers are excellent. They calmly listen (while I panic) and they get the issue resolved with minimal impact to the business. I recently received portal training from David who talked me through things in a ‘non-techy’ way. It’s reassuring to know they are there and understand the importance of getting you back up and running.
