Cyber Essentials
At NetMonkeys, we simplify the path to Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, empowering your organisation to operate confidently and securely.
Why Cybersecurity is Essential
Technology is advancing rapidly, bringing both incredible opportunities and significant risks. Government reports reveal that cyber-attacks cost the UK economy a staggering £10 billion annually. Even more concerning, seven out of ten businesses face serious breaches each year.
For every threat you can’t prevent, you must have a response strategy in place. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification provides your organisation with a robust defence against 80% of common cyber threats, setting the foundation for a secure digital culture.
Benefits of Cyber Essentials Certification
Cyber Essentials is a government-endorsed certification program aimed at helping businesses defend against the most prevalent cyber threats. By following the Cyber Essentials framework, your organisation shows a clear dedication to cybersecurity, instilling confidence in clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Education and Prevention
A proactive approach to cybersecurity involves educating your workforce on potential threats and equipping them with the skills to respond effectively. Incorporating cybersecurity training into your staff onboarding and development plans can transform your organisation’s security culture. NetMonkeys' Cyber Academy can become an integral part of your staff onboarding and development plans.
