Protect Your Business Against Common Online Threats

Protecting your data and the data of your customers should be one of your top priorities as a business. Hacking, now more than ever, is a prominent threat facing companies and as a result, people are less trusting of giving out their personal information.

To protect a business that deals with data securely, the Cyber Essentials Certification will work in your favour and keep you ahead of your competition. The best part is, we can complete the process for you - taking away the time and resources required so that you can focus on running your business.

Cyber Essentials defends your business against multiple types of attacks including Hacking, Phishing & Password Guessing.

The Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data stored on devices such as desktop or laptop PCs, tablets, smartphones, and all types of server and networking equipment.

Public sector contracts require the Cyber Essentials certification to enable partnerships to be formed.
