Although Cyber Essentials is a scheme developed by UK industry and backed by the UK Government, it is not reserved for use exclusively in the UK as organisations from Hong Kong, Poland, Trinidad and the US have been assessed for Cyber Essentials. Cyber Essentials defines a focused set of core controls which provide cost-effective, straightforward cyber security for your business. Its five control topics (Boundary Firewalls and Internet Gateways; Secure Configuration; Access Control; Malware Protection; Patch Management) align with many aspects of other information security standards and compliance obligations, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) or ISO 27001. Cyber Essentials therefore provides the perfect cyber security foundation from which to build your information security operational, technical and management capabilities.
