Defend your business and expand your possibilities

Cybercrime costs UK businesses £27 billion per year, and while you may think that’s a bigger business problem, a staggering 38% were MSEs and SMEs. That’s businesses like yours.

Having your business certified under the Cyber Essentials scheme helps you signal trust to suppliers and clients by proving that you can reduce fraud and data loss threats. After implementing Cyber Essentials+ across their partner network St James' Place found a reduction of 80% in cyber incidents.

Why your business needs Cyber Essentials certification

Data breaches rose by 40% according to the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024, and the trend isn't slowing. Cyber Essentials (and Cyber Essentials Plus) certification verifies your work to protect your business at every data touchpoint. Think of it like an M.O.T. - it shows your suppliers and clients that you observe critical compliance laws from year to year.


Easier Compliance

Cyber Essentials is a recognised annual certification that proves your business is serious about reducing cyber threats. Cyber Essentials Plus offers much deeper validation in your steps to achieve compliance.


Better Risk Management

With your business certified, you have a much more robust understanding of identifying and dealing with potential risks quickly. Follow this up with Cyber Awareness training, and you have a proactive team working to defend your business.


More Business Opportunities

Bidding for and winning business in highly compliant industries is easy because Cyber Essentials meets all the primary industry standards. Supply chains also have the assurances they need when working with you.
