No organisation, regardless of size, is immune from the ever increasing threat of cyber security attacks.
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber attacks. It focuses on practical controls that reduce risk and demonstrate a clear commitment to cyber security.
Big Tek can support your business with a one-off assessment or offer Cyber Essentials as a managed service, depending on how much ongoing support you need.
Our one-off assessment is designed for organisations that want focused support to achieve or renew their certification without committing to an ongoing service.
Big Tek will review your current environment against the Cyber Essentials requirements, identify gaps and provide practical guidance to help you prepare for the assessment.
A one-off assessment can include:
Cyber Essentials as a Service is for organisations that want ongoing support rather than treating certification as a once-a-year exercise. The service combines certification guidance with continuous monitoring and practical support to maintain a stronger security baseline year-round.
The service includes Active Protection, which provides ongoing visibility of device security and compliance. This helps identify issues between annual assessments so you can address them before they become a larger risk or cause problems at renewal.
Cyber Essentials as a Service can include:
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the same security controls but includes independent technical verification. Big Tek can help prepare your environment, address gaps and support your organisation ahead of the technical assessment.
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme designed to help businesses protect themselves against the most common cyber threats.
The certification focuses on five key security areas:
Certification can reassure customers and suppliers, support tender requirements, and give your organisation a clear baseline for improving cyber security.
It’s not just large organisations that are prone to cyber attacks. Small and medium-sized businesses are common targets for cyber criminals because they often have valuable data but fewer security measures in place. Effective cyber security helps prevent data breaches, financial losses, operational downtime, and reputational damage.
Common threats include phishing emails, ransomware attacks, password theft, malware, and business email compromise. These attacks can disrupt operations, steal sensitive information, and lead to costly recovery processes if businesses are unprepared.
Key steps include using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, keeping software up to date, training employees to recognise threats, regularly backing up data, and implementing professional cyber security monitoring and protection services.
