Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials+ Certification

Cyber Essentials is a government backed program created by the UK governments National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and was launched in 2014.

It is designed to protect your organisation against a whole range of the most common cyber-attacks.

Cyber-attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Being compliant with Cyber Essentials ensures that you have the right protection in place to prevent these attacks. But in the event of the worst happening, Cyber Essentials also gives you free Cyber Liability Insurance.

Working closely with Cyber Essentials auditors we are able to prepare your systems in readiness for Cyber Essentials Certification.  Using our expertise and guidance we will walk you through the process every step of the way ensuring that you have a complete understanding of what is required to be compliant.  

We can work with the auditors to give them the access required to audit against Cyber Essentials+ and we ensure a guaranteed 100% pass rate.

By working through this process with Cyber Chameleon we will give you a full understanding of what is required and your business responsibilities in terms of Security / Data Management.  All of which will form the basis for your company's Cyber Security Policy.

But that isn’t all…

If you choose to let Cyber Chameleon manage your Users, Devices and Cloud Estate.  We ensure that all policies are created inline with Cyber Essentials compliance, meaning that you are not only secure at the time you are tested, but you are compliant and secure 365 days year.

Why Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials Certification

Basic Cyber Essentials is the verified self assessed version of the scheme. Once accredited, as long as you opt in you can receive the free cyber insurance - this certificate lasts for 12 months and must be renewed to maintain the accreditation.

Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials Plus is essentially the same scheme but with the addition of independent testing and sampling by an auditor. The CE+ can only be applied within 3 months of gaining the Cyber Essentials and again lasts for 12 months and must be renewed to maintain the accreditation.

Cyber Insurance

All certified, current companies of Cyber Essentials certification can opt in to have cyber liability insurance provided - please make sure to keep your certificates to hand and maintain that certification annually!
