As a baseline for cybersecurity hygiene, UK businesses should look to the government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme.
Taken from the National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ:
Cyber Essentials helps you to guard your organisation against cyber attack.
Cyber Essentials helps you to guard against the most common cyber threats and demonstrate your commitment to cyber security.
More information can be found here: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview
Cyber Essentials Plus takes things a step further, with third party hands-on technical verification of the standard.
I am incredibly pleased to announce that once again, ctm Information Technology has achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
Our certificate can be viewed here.
Our IT systems have been independently verified to the Cyber Essentials standard.
We know what to expect from the standard. We know how to configure customer systems to meet the standard and we know the applicable features and settings available to Microsoft 365 businesses to meet the standard.
We offer a complete range of cybersecurity services, including risk identification and assessment, security policy and planning, penetration and vulnerability testing and a real-time monitoring and response team.
If your business needs assistance in achieving Cyber Essentials, please get in touch.
Once again, well done team!
Rupert
