Some of the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questions can be difficult to understand if you do not have a technical IT background.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials represents the UK Government’s minimum baseline standard for cyber security for organisations of all sizes in the UK. The annually renewable certification scheme is aligned to five technical controls designed to prevent the most common internet-based cyber security threats. Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that an organisation is protecting itself by implementing the most important cyber security controls. A team of experts review the scheme at regular intervals to ensure it stays effective in the ever-evolving threat landscape.
What is Cyber Liability Insurance?
When a UK-domiciled organisation with a turnover under £20m achieves self-assessed certification covering their whole organisation to Cyber Essentials, they are entitled to Cyber Liability Insurance.
The cover is underwritten by American International Group UK Limited, and administered via Sutcliffe & Co Insurance Brokers.
