Cyber Essentials Benefits

Cyber criminals don’t just go after big companies. They scan for weaknesses – and if your organisation isn’t protected, you’re an easy target.

Cyber Essentials certification helps you guard against 80% of common cyber threats, win government contracts and demonstrate to your customers that you take cyber security seriously.

Whether you’re a small business or an established enterprise, certification through GRC Solutions gives you the protection and credibility you need to grow with confidence.

Get certified with expert support

Modern cyber attacks are fast, automated and opportunistic. They don’t discriminate based on size or sector.

If your organisation uses email, a website or even basic digital systems, you’re already a potential target.

Cyber Essentials helps you:

• Block common threats like phishing, malware and unauthorised access
• Protect sensitive data across your systems
• Show customers, partners and regulators you take cyber security seriously

Protect against 80% of common cyber attacks
Implementing the five technical controls in the Cyber Essentials scheme gives you a strong first line of defence – at a fraction of the cost of a breach.

Prove your security to the supply chain
Certification signals to suppliers, partners and auditors that you have baseline cyber hygiene in place, making you a safer organisation to do business with.

Bid for government and MoD contracts
Cyber Essentials is a requirement for many public-sector contracts. With Cyber Essentials Plus, you can also work with the Ministry of Defence.

Boost your reputation and win new customers
Businesses are increasingly prioritising cyber security when choosing suppliers. Certification helps you stand out and build trust fast.

Get listed on the NCSC supplier database
Your certification will be published on the IASME website for 12 months – visible proof to prospects that you take data protection seriously.

• 93% feel more protected from common Internet-based threats
