How to obtain Cyber Essentials certification?

Cyber Essentials certification is a scheme to help organizations protect themselves against cyber attacks. The first step towards obtaining this certification is to identify an appropriate certification body from the list provided by the government. The organization then needs to complete a self-assessment questionnaire, which covers five key areas: boundary firewalls and internet gateways, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. Once completed, the answers are submitted to the certification body, who will then review and verify them. Finally, an external vulnerability scan must be completed by an authorized third-party supplier. Once all the evidence is verified, the certification body will issue the Cyber Essentials certification.
