Overview

A non-technical guide to the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme for managers, business owners, and anyone responsible for data security in a small or medium business. It explains the five technical controls, the self-assessment process, the people and policy side, cloud and remote working, and how to get certified and stay compliant.


Candidates will undertake an online multiple-choice assessment and will receive a certificate if successful (any certificates from an official awarding body are sent to you via email).
