Cyber Essentials certification applies across all business sectors, providing a foundational level of cybersecurity suitable for organisations of any size or industry. In addition to establishing a strong cybersecurity foundation, it also fulfils most cybersecurity requirements needed to engage in data-sensitive projects.
These include:
- Legal Firms
- Healthcare
- Local Government Councils and Authorities
- Insurance and Finance
- Small Businesses
While Cyber Essentials benefits all sectors, the top four industries listed above place greater emphasis on certification due to regulatory requirements, the sensitive nature of their data, and the critical services they provide.
Finally, in the fifth spot, SMEs are especially vulnerable to cyber threats and are highly encouraged to adopt Cyber Essentials to protect themselves against common attacks.
In simple terms, the NCSC.gov.uk explains: “Most cyber-attacks are basic — like a thief checking if your front door is unlocked. Cyber Essentials helps you secure that door against the most common threats.”
At Lanix, our cyber team works tirelessly to help companies avoid leaving their doors wide open. Cyber Essentials certification ensures those doors are securely closed against cyber threats. With it in place, you can enjoy peace of mind and focus confidently on running your business.
