UK CYBER ESSENTIALS AT A GLANCE

Meet the UK government-backed baseline for cybersecurity

Cyber Essentials helps organisations protect against common cyber threats, strengthen security hygiene, and demonstrate foundational cyber resilience to customers, partners, and regulators.

Framework overview Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme for implementing five baseline cybersecurity controls. Cyber Essentials Plus builds on Cyber Essentials with independent technical verification of those five controls.
Key components The scheme is built around five technical control areas: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and security update management to help organisations defend against the most common internet-based threats.
Requirements Organisations must complete a self-assessment questionnaire for Cyber Essentials certification. Cyber Essentials Plus builds on this with an independent technical verification, including hands-on testing of the implemented controls.
Who needs to comply Recommended for all UK organisations and often required for suppliers bidding on UK government contracts, as well as businesses handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries.
