In the process of achieving a Cyber Essentials certificate, your organisation is effectively protecting itself against approximately 80% of the most common cyber attacks.
This provides reassurance to your clients that you take cyber security seriously and have implemented a strong set of relevant controls and measures.
Cyber Essentials certification will also help you attract new business opportunities and will help you satisfy those public sector and Government contracts that require CE to be in place.
A very practical benefit for organisations certifying to Cyber Essentials is the cyber insurance cover that comes with the certificate.
If your organisation is domiciled in the UK with a turnover under £20m, a certification scope covering the whole of your organisation and you opt-in, you are entitled to Cyber Liability Insurance which gives you £25,000 limit of indemnity (terms apply).
Having achieved certification to Cyber Essentials, you will be listed on a directory of certificate organisations which is operated by IASME, the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC’s) Cyber Essentials Partner, responsible for the delivery of the scheme.
We are delighted to partner with URM Consulting on a wide range of information and cyber security projects and service solutions. Working with URM Consulting has proved to be extremely successful, with them consulting / advising clients and then utilising our SMART Services. These are specifically aimed at supporting organisations to achieve Detection, Compliance & Response (DCR) to support Digital Transformation outcomes. In addition, we have achieved Cyber Essentials certification with URM and are now partnering on ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus projects. We have been impressed by the breadth of URM’s governance, risk, compliance and technical expertise along with their holistic, pragmatic and tailored advice.

URM has guided us through the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications for the past couple of years. The process has always been straightforward and well-structured, providing us with a clear roadmap to enhance our cybersecurity posture. Achieving these certifications has focused our efforts and significantly boosted our confidence in our security measures, reassuring our clients and stakeholders of our commitment to protecting their data.
