Why Cyber Essentials Is More Than Just a Certification

Why Cyber Essentials Is More Than Just a Certification


Cyber attacks aren’t just a problem for big corporations, they’re a growing threat to businesses of all sizes.

Let's Cut to the Chase. If Your Business isn't Cyber Essentials Certified, You're Leaving the Door Wide Open to Cyber Threats

And missing out on a huge opportunity to build trust, win contracts, and stay ahead.

Cyber Essentials is more than a government-backed certification. It’s a no-brainer for any business that wants to take cyber security seriously. It covers the basics: firewalls, secure settings, access control, malware protection, and patching, but those basics are powerful. They stop 80% of common cyber attacks. That’s not a nice-to-have. That’s essential.

 

Cyber Essentials is the Smartest First Step

Getting certified shows your customers, suppliers, and partners that you’re not just talking about security, you’re doing something about it. It’s a clear, affordable way to:

  • Protect your business from everyday threats

  • Meet key compliance requirements (hello, GDPR)

  • Strengthen your reputation

  • Unlock new business opportunities and contracts, especially in the public sector

It’s simple, it’s effective, and it’s one of the best investments you can make in your business.

 

Cyber Essentials Plus: The Gold Standard

Now, if Cyber Essentials is the smart choice, Cyber Essentials Plus is the power move. It includes everything in the standard certification, but with one major upgrade: independent testing.

That means a qualified assessor checks your systems to make sure your defences actually work. No guesswork. No assumptions. Just real, verified protection.

Why Cyber Essentials Plus is a Game-Changer

  • Verified protection, your systems are tested, not just ticked off
  • Hidden vulnerabilities? found and fixed
  • Stronger positions in tenders and supply chains
  • Demonstrates real commitment to cyber security
  • Preferred (and often required) for high value contracts

We're not just recommending it, we've done it ourselves! 

Technical Drive is Cyber Essentials Plus certified because we believe in leading by example. 

 

Still Thinking About It?

Cyber attacks aren't slowing down. They're getting smarter, faster, and more damaging. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus give you the tools, and the confidence, to fight back. 

At Technical Drive, we make the whole process easy. From initial assessments to ongoing patching and support, we're here to help you get certified and stay secure.
