What are the benefits attached to gaining Cyber Essentials certification?

In the process of achieving a Cyber Essentials certificate, your organisation is effectively protecting itself against approximately 80% of the most common cyber attacks.

This provides reassurance to your clients that you take cyber security seriously and have implemented a strong set of relevant controls and measures.

Cyber Essentials certification will also help you attract new business opportunities and will help you satisfy those public sector and Government contracts that require CE to be in place.

A very practical benefit for organisations certifying to Cyber Essentials is the cyber insurance cover that comes with the certificate.

If your organisation is domiciled in the UK with a turnover under £20m, a certification scope covering the whole of your organisation and you opt-in, you are entitled to Cyber Liability Insurance which gives you £25,000 limit of indemnity (terms apply).

Having achieved certification to Cyber Essentials, you will be listed on a directory of certificate organisations which is operated by IASME, the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC’s) Cyber Essentials Partner, responsible for the delivery of the scheme.
