The whole purpose of its existence is to help and encourage businesses, like ours, to protect themselves against cyber attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having Cyber Essentials certification means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That your customers are reassured that you doing all that is needed to secure your company data against cyber attack<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having all the necessary cyber security measures in place<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clear picture of your organization\u2019s cyber security level<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyber Essentials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is all about helping companies have the right cybersecurity tools and systems to prevent common cyber attacks, like ransomware and data breaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How did we get to be Cyber Essentials certified?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order for us to get this certification, we have successfully completed the Cyber Essentials SAQ (self-assessment questionnaire). This is made of questions related to each of the five Cyber Essentials security controls:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure configuration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firewalls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User access controls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security update management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malware protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, what does it all mean for you?

Only by implementing the right security updates and having the most effective tools and systems you can stand a chance and protect your data against some of the most common cyber attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among our many certifications, we\u2019re also Cyber Essentials certified.
