The Cyber Essentials Scheme has been developed as part of the UK’s National Cyber Security Programme. Since October 2014, Cyber Essentials certification has become mandatory if bidding for government contracts which involve the handling of personal information and providing ICT products and services.
ERS offers expert advice and guidance on how to approach the Cyber Essentials scheme. We provide roadmaps to achieve certification against both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. Our approach provides you with necessary support throughout the process, including assistance to complete the self-assessment, conducting vulnerability scans and build reviews.
