Protecting customers and users’ information and maintaining their computer systems safe from malicious threats is paramount. As has been seen from media reports in recent years, these threats are becoming more prevalent, and so it is important to remain vigilant in the face of these.

This is important because vulnerability to simple attacks can mark you out as target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others. The process of obtaining Cyber Essentials Certification itself is simple and costs around £300 or around €330 in Ireland depending on exchange rates. Organisations assess themselves against five basic security controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.
