On 1st October 2025, we will be holding a free webinar: Cyber Essentials – are you ready? Find out more about the benefits of Cyber Essentials and how to sign up in this blog.
With cyber threats on the rise, no organisation is immune. According to GOV.UK, just over four in ten businesses and three in ten charities reported having experienced any kind of cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months.
That’s where Cyber Essentials comes in – It's a government-backed scheme that helps businesses put in place the fundamental controls needed to guard against the most common cyber threats. It’s not about making your systems bulletproof, but it does provide a strong, practical foundation that reduces your risk and shows your customers and partners that you take security seriously.
An evaluation has even shown that being Cyber Essentials certified stops 99% of common online threats.
Why does this matter for SMEs?
- It reassures your clients, showing them you’re a trustworthy and responsible partner.
- It can give you an edge in tendering for contracts, as many organisations now require certification as standard.
- It’s a cost-effective way to improve resilience without needing enterprise-level resources.
Our free webinar is designed to help you understand whether your business is Cyber Essentials ready. Our tech experts will walk you through:
- The benefits of Cyber Essentials certification
- The step-by-step process to achieve it
- How certification can boost customer trust and protect your business from cyber attacks
Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your cyber security and join the growing community of UK businesses leading the way in digital safety.
