Get Free Cyber Liability Insurance with Cyber Essentials
Did you know that UK organisations with a turnover under £20 million can qualify for free Cyber Liability Insurance simply by achieving Cyber Essentials certification? It’s a powerful incentive that not only strengthens your cyber security but also provides vital protection if things ever go wrong.
What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed standard launched in 2014 to help businesses, particularly SME’s, protect themselves from the most common types of cyberattacks.
The framework focuses on five key areas of IT security, ensuring that your organisation has the right safeguards in place to prevent the majority of online threats.
More and more, both public and private sector tenders now require suppliers to demonstrate robust cyber security practices. Holding Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation is a clear way to show your business takes data protection seriously and is compliant with modern standards.
