WePurpose helps businesses and charities achieve and maintain Cyber Essentials certification, strengthening their cybersecurity posture and demonstrating commitment to protecting data.
Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that your organisation meets recognised UK government security standards and meet the security controls to protect you against 85% of the least sophisticated attacks you might face.
WeStrengthen Your Cybersecurity Foundations
Cyber Essentials implements five technical controls to help harden computer systems against cyberattack:
- Secure configuration: Set up computers securely to minimise ways that a cyber-criminal can find a way in
- User access control: Control who can access your data and services and what level of access they have
- Malware protection: Identify and immobilise viruses or other malicious software before it has a chance to cause harm
- Security update management: Prevent cyber criminals using vulnerabilities they find in software as an access point to your systems
- Firewalls: Create a security filter between the internet and your network
As part of our managed IT support in Scotland and across the UK, we help businesses and charities prepare for accreditation through close mentoring, guidance and support. To date, WePurpose has completed over 300 Cyber Essentials assessments, certifications and renewals.
WeHelp you Build Trust with your Customers Partners
Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that your organisation takes cybersecurity seriously. Many organisations now require certification when working with suppliers or public sector contracts.
WePurpose can support you through the certification process, helping implement the required controls and preparing systems for assessment.
Cyber Essentials Accreditation
WePurpose can guide you through the Cyber Essentials certification assessment, ensuring your systems align with required security controls. Our proactive managed IT services mean many clients already operate at Cyber Essentials level as standard and simply need to be certified.
Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation
For organisations requiring a higher level of assurance, WePurpose can also support preparation for Cyber Essentials Plus. This includes independent verification and technical testing and is particularly valuable for organisations working with public sector contracts or handling highly sensitive data.
