What is Cyber Essentials+?

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to demonstrate an organization's commitment to cybersecurity. It involves a more rigorous assessment than the basic Cyber Essentials certification, including an independent, hands-on verification of the implemented controls. This certification demonstrates a higher level of security assurance, verifying that the organization has implemented the five essential security controls effectively to protect against common cyber threats. These controls include firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management.
