What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials (CE) is a government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against cybercrime and includes a set of basic technical tools and processes that can guard against the most common cyber-attacks.

CE helps organisations to mitigate the cyber risks with updated software and properly configured firewalls. It prepares organisations to be GDPR compliant, thereby saving the company heavy fines which would have been levied otherwise if it would have failed to protect the personal data against theft and unauthorised access. It establishes the trust of vendors and partners and makes them aware that security of systems and integrity of data is taken very seriously. CE compliance also makes the organisation eligible to bid for government contracts (which is mandatory by the UK Government). 

How much will it cost to get Cyber Essentials?

The cost of the Cyber Essentials certification varies dependent on the size of the organisation, and you must also consider the cost of preparing for the assessment and ensuring you meet the criteria to pass successfully.

The Cyber Resilience Centre for London’s Partners are offering a package which supports you through the process, ensuring you get it right first time. This is ideal for those organisations with less technical experience and knowledge, or simply those that don’t have the capacity to carry out all the checks themselves. The best way to get an idea of the cost is to get in touch with a Cyber Essentials Partner, who can provide you with an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs.

How to redeem the offer:

1. To qualify for the £150 discount, you will need to obtain your Cyber Essentials Certification through one of The Cyber Resilience Centre for London’s Cyber Essentials Partners.
2. Log in to your LCCI online account to access your exclusive member offer code. Quote the offer code to your chosen CE provider when getting in touch to take up the offer.
