Cyber Essentials is a basic, yet still effective, government-backed programme that will help you protect your care homes, no matter the size, against a wide variety of cyber threats.
Completed as a self-assessment standard, the certification ensures that you are protected from a wide range of the most serious cyber threats. This is critical because being vulnerable to basic threats will make you a target for attacks from cyber criminals.
Because the majority of cyberattacks are looking for targets that do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place, certification gives you peace of mind that your defences will protect you against the vast majority of common cyberattacks.
