Exploitr is proud to announce that we have achieved the Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating our commitment to cybersecurity best practices and to offering secure services to our clients.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is an accreditation scheme that represents the UK government’s baseline standard for cybersecurity for any organisation. It is designed to provide a clear framework for organisations to align their security practices with technical controls that prevent common internet-based threats.
Some of the key areas covered by Cyber Essentials include:
- Secure Configuration: Ensuring that systems are configured securely to reduce vulnerabilities.
- Boundary Firewalls and Internet Gateways: Implementing and maintaining strong firewall controls to protect against unauthorised access.
- Access Control: Managing controls for user access to systems and data to ensure that only authorised individuals can access sensitive information.
- Patch Management: Keeping software and systems up to date with the latest security patches to new and old vulnerabilities.
- Malware Protection: Implementing measures to protect against malicious software.
Why is Cyber Essentials Important?
- Demonstrates Commitment to Security: Achieving the Cyber Essentials certification shows that an organisation takes cybersecurity seriously and has implemented essential measures to protect against common threats.
- Reduces Risk of Cyber Attacks: By ensuring adherence to the Cyber Essentials framework, organisations can significantly reduce their risk of falling victim to cyber attacks.
- Compliance with Regulations: Many contracts and regulations can require an organisation to have the Cyber Essentials certification, making it essential for doing business.
