Cyber Essentials
Initially launched in 2014, the government worked with the Information Assurance for Small and Medium Enterprises (IASME) consortium and the Information Security Forum (ISF) to develop Cyber Essentials, a set of technical controls to help organisations protect themselves against common online security threats.
Primarily focused on external threats, Cyber Essentials sets out a baseline of cyber security suitable for all organisations in all sectors and has been developed in close consultation with multiple industries to provide businesses with clarity on good cyber practice.
The principal focus of the scheme is on the five most important technical security controls; when implemented correctly it can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks. These controls were identified by the Government and if they had been in place, would have stopped the majority of the successful cyber attacks over the last few years.
