Active Dorset Achieves Cyber Essentials Plus Certification
Posted: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 11:57
We are pleased to have achieved our Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a government -supported scheme that helps businesses protect themselves against the growing threat of cyber attacks and provides a clear statement of the basic controls organisations should have in place to protect themselves.
It is the UK Government's answer to a safer internet space for organisations of all sizes, across all sectors. Developed and operated by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Cyber Essentials is considered the best first step to a more secure network, protecting organisations from 80% of the most basic cyber security breaches.
Gaining Cyber Essentials certification also enables organisations to showcase their credentials as trustworthy and secure when it comes to cyber security. Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification offered under the Cyber Essentials scheme. It is a more rigorous test of an organisation's cyber security systems where their cyber security experts carry out vulnerability tests to make sure that the organisation is protected against basic hacking and phishing attacks.
