Each year, more than 50% of SME’s are targeted by cyber attacks, with many lacking adequate defence.

 

We all know cybersecurity is important.

But when you’re a small business with limited resources, it can be tricky to know where to start. Most off-the-shelf options are expensive, complex and designed with larger enterprises in mind.

UK Government's Cyber Essentials Report: Key Findings

The UK government has conducted in-depth research into the impact of Cyber Essentials (CE) certification, underscoring its role in reducing cyber threats for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The findings highlight a significant advantage for companies that pursue Cyber Essentials certification, with a substantial 60% reduction in successful cyber intrusions among certified organisations.
This research solidifies the UK government’s support for CE as a crucial cybersecurity measure for businesses.

Benefits of Cyber Essentials Certification According to Government Research:

  • Reduced Cyber Incidents: According to the UK government report, 82% of organisations with Cyber Essentials certification report fewer cyber incidents, demonstrating the certification’s effectiveness in bolstering defences.

  • Boosted Confidence: The report reveals that around 84% of certified businesses feel more prepared to handle cyber threats, giving organisations greater assurance in their cybersecurity posture.

  • Cost & Time Efficiency: With fewer successful intrusions, certified companies save time and money by reducing the frequency and impact of security breaches.

  • Enhanced Client Trust: As a government-endorsed “trust marker,” Cyber Essentials certification boosts credibility, providing clients with greater confidence in a business’s commitment to robust cybersecurity.

The UK government’s findings underscore that Cyber Essentials certification is more than a formality; it’s a strategic investment.

For companies, especially SMEs, looking to protect their operations and strengthen client relationships, Cyber Essentials represents a powerful shield against cyber threats.
