Business owners are being urged to “lock the door” on criminals as the UK government launches a new campaign to provide practical ways for organisations to protect themselves from common online threats.
Significant cyber incidents cost an average of £195,000 and half of all small businesses have suffered a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months. Last year, 92% fewer insurance claims were made by organisations with Cyber Essentials in place – proving it works. Certification can also help businesses win government contracts, and eligible firms can access free cyber insurance, including a 24/7 emergency helpline, provided by the Cyber Essentials delivery partner.
No matter the size of your business, cyber criminals can find it: 1 in 2 UK small businesses suffered a cyber attack last year.
It’s time to act: secure your business with Cyber Essentials, the Government-backed certification scheme from the experts at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Cyber Essentials is highly effective: 92% fewer cyber insurance claims are made by organisations with Cyber Essentials certification in place, and certification is mandatory for many public and private sector contracts.
