Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a security certification and accreditation that demonstrates that you have five key controls in place to prevent cybercrime. Cyber Essentials requires a self-assessment questionnaire, with your responses independently reviewed by an external certifying body.

Cyber Essentials Plus requires an independent assessment of your security controls to verify that you do, indeed, have the five technical security controls in place. This assessment will involve a vulnerability scan, which will identify unpatched or unsupported software, open ports and incorrect firewall configuration. There is also support for physical and technical controls in restricting access to third parties such as clients and suppliers visiting your offices.

Silverbug believes that being cyber secure is extremely important. For this reason, Silverbug has invested in Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus to support our IT excellence. To learn more about our Cyber Essentials packages, please get in touch with one of our experts.
