Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, said, “With more than a dozen companies already certified to Cyber Essentials, there is pressure on UK businesses to comply. IT Governance has always been committed to engaging businesses in tackling cyber security effectively.

“As a CREST-accredited certification body for the Cyber Essentials scheme, we would like to play our part in encouraging implementation of the scheme and offer the certification service for free in conjunction with some of our other core products and services.”

The Cyber Essentials scheme, which was officially launched on 5 June 2014 by the UK Government, was developed to keep UK business safe. It aims to offer a baseline for cyber security and sets out the key steps to manage cyber risks.

The Cyber Essentials scheme applies to small- and medium-sized organisations and large companies alike. While it doesn’t replace international information security frameworks or standards, notably ISO27001, it makes the implementation of cyber security more accessible for smaller companies. British organisations that meet the assessment requirements of the scheme will be awarded a badge (or ‘mark’) to demonstrate compliance. There are two levels of compliance: Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
