Pricing for Cyber Essentials Plus can start<\/strong> from \u00a32,000 for a micro-organisation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \u00a0Why should my business become Cyber Essentials certified\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becoming Cyber Essentials certified is a fantastic way to demonstrate<\/strong> to existing and potential customers that you take cybersecurity seriously. Which can also be instrumental in attracting new<\/strong> business. Furthermore, Cyber Essentials certification can help to improve an organisation\u2019s reputation, credibility<\/strong> and paves the way for new business opportunities and even\u00a0discounted cyber-insurance cover<\/a>. If applicable, it may open doors to government<\/strong> contracts. Organisations who want to bid on government contracts are required<\/strong> to be certified under the Cyber Essentials scheme.<\/p>\n In short, obtaining certification helps to protect<\/strong> your organisation against\u00a080% <\/a>of the most common types of cyberattacks, such as social engineering<\/a>, which\u00a0<\/span>helps you reduce the risk of business disruption<\/strong> due to downtime caused by cyberattacks. As we\u2019ve discussed earlier in this blog, being certified under the Cyber Essentials scheme shows your commitment to protecting<\/strong> your data and that of your partners and customers. Certification enhances your organisation\u2019s reputation and shows that you are actively taking action<\/strong> to reduce the threat from cyberattacks<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n \n\n $\"Image\"$ \n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Final thoughts<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Obtaining Cyber Essentials<\/strong> or Cyber Essentials Plus<\/strong> certification is advantageous<\/strong> for your business in bolstering your security against cyber threats, enhancing your business\u2019s credibility<\/strong> as well as building trust<\/strong> with partners and customers.<\/p>\n It is worth noting that both<\/strong> Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications expire<\/strong> after 12 months<\/strong><\/span>. If you do not renew<\/strong> your certification, your organisation will be removed<\/strong> from the government\u2019s<\/strong> list of certified organisations. Unfortunately, there is not a discount for either the Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus renewal, so the assessment process will need to be fully undertaken again.<\/p>\n If you'd like to arrange a conversation with one of our IT experts<\/strong> about how your business can obtain Cyber Essentials certification, book a meeting<\/a> with us.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n \n\n $\"Image\"$ \n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n
