Cyber Essentials certification with KEE Services

You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘Cyber Essentials’ mentioned before, but what is it?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme that covers the essential actions every business should take to ensure its digital security and protection from cyberattacks. Think of it as ‘cyber hygiene’ – a bit like washing your hands, brushing your teeth or wearing a face mask.

The scheme assesses five key criteria:

• Is your internet connection secure?

• Are the most secure settings switched on for every company device?

• Do you have full control over who is accessing your data and services?

• Do you have adequate protection against viruses and malware?

• Are devices and software updated with the latest versions?

Getting Cyber Essentials certified is a requirement for many government tenders and can protect your business from 98.5% of cybersecurity threats.

Cyber Essentials certification provides clear, government-backed proof that your business is safe to work with. This not only offers assurance to your current customers but also gives you an edge when competing for new ones.
