What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a vital and influential Government-backed certification that was introduced as a direct response to growing concerns about the vulnerability of organisations to cyber threats. It was a well-structured initiative designed to address the pressing issue of inadequate basic technical controls in place across various sectors, making them susceptible to the ever-evolving landscape of internet-based attacks.

In the digital age, as technology becomes increasingly intertwined with everyday life, cyber threats have become more sophisticated and relentless. These threats can come in various forms, ranging from malware and phishing attacks to data breaches and ransomware incidents. Without adequate protection, both public and private entities face the risk of financial losses, reputation damage, and, in some cases, even a threat to national security.

What is Cyber Baseline?

This is a distinct and new international cyber hygiene certification scheme. The IASME Cyber Baseline focuses on basic yet critical cyber security protection measures. It provides a standardised and respected certification, particularly useful for global supply chains. This certification shows that organisations have implemented essential cyber hygiene measures. Tailored mainly for non-UK registered businesses, the IASME Cyber Baseline is a risk-based cyber security framework. It encompasses 13 themes, including asset and risk management, incident management, and information security. This certification aids organisations in demonstrating their commitment to cybersecurity best practices and compliance with GDPR related controls.
