What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government-backed scheme designed to help organizations protect themselves against common cyber threats. It involves a more rigorous, hands-on verification process than the standard Cyber Essentials certification. An external assessor conducts vulnerability scans and tests to ensure that the organization's systems and controls are effectively implemented and functioning correctly. It is commonly used to demonstrate a higher level of cybersecurity assurance to customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.
