Cyberattacks, data breaches, and online threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it essential for companies to fortify their defences. Cyber Essentials is a vital cybersecurity certification that offers a robust foundation for safeguarding your digital assets.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help businesses bolster their cybersecurity posture. It sets out a series of basic cybersecurity controls that, when implemented effectively, significantly reduce the risk of common online threats and attacks.

By achieving Cyber Essentials, you are better equipped to prevent prevalent cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and hacking attempts.

This encourages focus on fundamental cybersecurity controls, including boundary firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, and malware protection, ensuring that your business has essential security measures in place.

Displaying this cyber certification signals to customers, partners, and stakeholders that your organisation takes cybersecurity seriously and has implemented the right defences to protect their data.

At Mint, we specialise in assisting organisations like yours in achieving and maintaining a Cyber Essentials certification. Preparing for this can be complex, but with our guidance, it becomes a streamlined process.

Our cyber experts start by conducting a thorough assessment of your current cybersecurity measures in place. This includes evaluating your network, systems, policies, and procedures. We identify gaps and vulnerabilities that need to be addressed for Cyber Essentials certification.

From this, we provide hands-on assistance with the implementation of the required security controls, helping you configure firewalls, establish secure configurations, manage user access, and more.

Our IT team conducts vulnerability scanning to identify potential security weaknesses that need to be addressed.
