What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber attacks.
Our certification confirms that recognised technical controls are in place to support the secure handling of personal and sensitive information throughout our services.
What the certification covers
The Cyber Essentials assessment focuses on five core technical controls.
Secure configuration
Reducing unnecessary functionality and applying secure settings across systems and devices.
Security updates
Keeping software and operating systems supported and protected with security updates.
User access control
Providing people with the access they need while limiting unnecessary administrative privileges.
Malware protection
Using appropriate controls to help prevent malicious software from causing harm.
Security throughout your application
Cyber Essentials forms part of our wider approach to security and data protection. We combine recognised controls, secure infrastructure and careful data handling to protect information throughout the DBS application process.
