Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation with HJS Technology

Protect Your Business with Cyber Essentials

In today’s digital landscape, ensuring the security of your business’s digital infrastructure is of paramount importance. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against a range of cyber-attacks. Cyber Essentials (and ISO 27001) accredited HJS Technology are dedicated to guiding your business through the process of obtaining this essential accreditation to ensure that you pass first time, providing peace of mind and a robust defence against cyber threats.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a certification scheme that outlines the basic measures your organisation should take to protect against the most common internet-based threats. To gain the accreditation, an online evaluation is completed. It focuses on five key areas:

Firewalls – Ensuring your network is protected by secure firewalls.
Secure Configuration – Ensuring that systems are configured to reduce vulnerabilities.
User Access Control – Implementing strict controls on who can access your data and services.
Malware Protection – Ensuring your systems are protected from malicious software.
Patch Management – Keeping your software and systems up to date with the latest patches.

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus offers the same simplicity as Cyber Essentials, but with a higher level of assurance. The key difference is that Cyber Essentials Plus requires an in-person, independent assessment of your security controls to verify that they are working effectively. This involves a hands-on technical verification, giving you, your suppliers, partners and customers greater confidence in your cybersecurity measures.

Benefits of Cyber Essentials Accreditation Include:

Enhanced Security: Implementing the Cyber Essentials framework significantly reduces the risk of a cyber-attack.
Customer Trust: Demonstrating your commitment to cybersecurity can improve your reputation and customer confidence.
Business Opportunities: Many tenders and contracts require Cyber Essentials certification, opening up new business opportunities.
Insurance Benefits: Many insurers recognise Cyber Essentials certification and may offer lower premiums as a result.
Legal Compliance: Helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations, including GDPR.
