Cyber Essentials Plus
There has been a significant increase in cyber attacks causing a huge array of problems. Every business is at risk when sensitive information, intellectual property and business strategies prove to be attractive targets for criminals. If proper protection is not put in place to prevent these cyber attacks and minimise the risk of data loss, then it could have a significant impact on share price and revenues, as well as, leading to penalty and damage to your reputation.
At Teceze, we work hard to reduce the risk of these problems by introducing systems that are designed to future-proof your business from these attacks.
Cyber Essentials is a certification that is supported by the industry and has been created by the U.K. Government. It has set a number of criteria that organisations can use as a guide to measure their cyber security systems through implementing five key controls. This can then help to reduce the risk of as much as 80% of cyber attacks.
Cyber Essentials was designed to deal with the issues faced by the Government and further industries, enabling their partners and suppliers to introduce a high-standard of cyber security.
Organisations that carry the Cyber Essentials certification will provide partners, suppliers and customers with confidence while also proving that their data is protected from the risk of cyber attacks.
