The Need for Cyber Essentials
Cyber security is not a luxury for businesses, it is essential for safeguarding your organisations operations and longevity, especially for SME's. Within the Security Breach Survey published 9th April 2024, Ipsos found that:
Only 13% of businesses know the 10 steps of cyber security.
22% of businesses have a formal incident response plan in place - a minimal 3% increase in 2 years.
All the while 50% of businesses reported experiencing cyber security breaches or attacks, phishing affecting 74% of businesses, and 75% considering cyber security a "high Priority".

Already ISO 27001 certified?
ISO 27001 is not a cyber security checklist, it's a Information Security Management System (ISMS) framework to establish and continuously improve a ISMS. ISO 27002 is the actual implementation of the 93 Annex A controls within ISO 27001, meaning your certification is not reflective of guaranteed security.
Even if organisations have ISO 27001, cyber essentials enables you to continue your cyber security journey by implementing security controls and building upon your best practices. Being Certified in CE and CE+ requires implementation of the controls, projecting you forward to ISO 27002 and embedding cyber hygiene into everyday operations by focusing on the concrete technical controls, building a cyber security centric culture in the workspace.
This is even more prevalent in the legal sector where a data breach can cause everlasting harm and reputational damage. Where law firms and legal teams use ISO and LOCS:23, cyber essentials provides easily actionable steps and assessments to bolster compliance measures. Find out more on legal here.
