Security Testing

Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials7 Elements are a Cyber Essentials Certification Body. We can assess your organisation against the Cyber Essentials Framework and certify that you meet the UK Government’s baseline standard.

If you would like to discuss your Cyber Essentials requirements please contact us.

The Cyber Essentials scheme lays out the fundamental technical security controls that an organisation should have in place to defend against Internet based threats. By certifying against this standard your organisation can demonstrate that it has taken steps to protect your and your clients’ data from cyber attacks.

More information on the Cyber Essentials scheme can be found here.
