IT Governance, a leading CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials certification body, has partnered with Beyond the Clouds to offer you an exclusive discount on the Cyber Essentials - Do It Yourself application.
The Cyber Essentials scheme is a world-leading, cost-effective assurance mechanism for companies of all sizes to demonstrate that the most important cyber security controls have been implemented.
This service will help you achieve CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials certification for just £225. It is conducted online and includes a review of your self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), the required vulnerability scans and the certification service.
How the application process works:
If you need help defining your scope, or are unclear about any of the five control areas within the SAQ (secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access controls, patch management and malware protection), we recommend that you purchase our Live Online Consultancy. We will then be able to help you through the application process.
The package includes a free vulnerability scan for up to 16 IP addresses. If you have more than 16 IP addresses, you will need to purchase additional IP packages, which come in packs of 16. If you fail your external scan, a vulnerability rescan will need to be purchased, plus any additional IP packages that you need.
The Cyber Essentials scheme provides five security controls that, according to the UK government, could prevent “around 80% of cyber attacks”.
Whether or not you achieve certification to the scheme, these controls provide the basic level of protection that you need to implement in your organisation to protect it from the majority of cyber attacks.
Correctly implemented cyber security has the additional advantage of driving business efficiency throughout the organisation, saving money and improving productivity.
