Cyber Essentials Certification for Businesses
Protect Your Business from Cyber Threats
Cyber security is no longer optional – it’s essential. The UK government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme helps businesses of all sizes protect themselves against the most common cyber threats and demonstrate their commitment to security.
At Revolve IT, we guide you through the entire Cyber Essentials certification process, ensuring your business is secure, compliant, and trusted by clients and partners.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK-wide cyber security standard developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It focuses on five key security controls that protect organisations from the most common cyber attacks:
Firewalls & Internet Gateways – Blocking unauthorised access to your systems.
Secure Configuration – Ensuring systems are set up securely.
User Access Control – Limiting access to only those who need it.
Malware Protection – Safeguarding against malicious software.
Patch Management – Keeping software up to date to prevent vulnerabilities.
By achieving Cyber Essentials certification, you reduce the risk of cyber attacks by up to 80%.
