Cyber Essentials Gap Analysis
If your organisation is at the very early stages of exploring Cyber Essentials certification and you want to learn what requirements need to be met across the 5 core areas and, more importantly, whether your existing controls meet those requirements, URM’s Gap Analysis is ideally suited to you. As an Assured Service Provider, one of URM’s Cyber Advisors (Cyber Essentials) will walk and talk you through each question that comprises the assessment to clarify the level of expected cyber security, whether your current controls/policies meet the requirements and provide options on how to remediate any non-compliant areas. Following the gap analysis, URM’s Cyber Advisor (Cyber Essentials) will provide you with a formal report documenting the outstanding actions which can then be used to develop a project action plan to address any gaps.
We engaged URM to help us complete our annual Cyber Essentials Plus certification. They have a great infrastructure and skillset to support the Cyber Essentials program and made the whole process painless for us. It’s a great way for businesses to give themselves a good security health check and in doing so spot any weak points in their IT infrastructure. URM are then perfectly placed to advise on how to fill those gaps for a robust IT / IS policy structure. In summary it’s a great way to show your customers your commitment to cyber security and ultimately keeping their data safe.
