Getting Certified
Achieving certification in the Cyber Essentials scheme is a key step in demonstrating your commitment to robust cyber security. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification designed to help businesses protect themselves from common cyber threats. At Black Sheep Support, we guide you through the process of becoming certified, ensuring that you meet the required standards for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
Cyber Essentials
This certification focuses on the five key security controls that protect against around 80% of common cyber-attacks:
1)Firewalls
Ensuring a strong barrier between your internal network and external threats.
2)Secure Configuration
Ensure your devices and software are set up securely to reduce vulnerabilities.
3)User Access Control
Implementing appropriate user permissions and controls.
4)Malware Protection
Safeguarding your systems with anti-malware tools like Microsoft Defender.
5)Patch Management
Keeping software and devices up-to-date to prevent exploits.
Cyber Essentials Plus+
Cyber Essentials Plus takes the security checks a step further, requiring an independent assessment to verify that the key controls are in place and functioning effectively. Our team assists you in preparing for the Cyber Essentials Plus audit by ensuring all necessary systems and policies are implemented correctly and tested under real-world conditions.
