What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed certification designed to help businesses protect themselves from a wide range of cyber threats. It is a step up from the basic Cyber Essentials certification, involving rigorous independent testing of an organisation’s cybersecurity measures. This includes vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and hands-on verification by security experts.

Cyber security is a crucial component of risk management for all organisations. However, with the escalating cyber threats emerging from complex digital supply chains, it is imperative to integrate robust and reliable cyber security measures within supplier risk management frameworks.

Cyber Essentials certification is an effective tool for helping buyers manage this risk in their supply chain. It provides a tangible way for organisations to verify their suppliers’ cyber security measures. Requiring certification serves as a vital assurance tool to help organisations gain confidence in their suppliers and increase visibility into their supply chains.
