Cyber Essentials Self-Assessment Assistance
To help you understand the current effectiveness of security at your company, a good place to start is a simple self-assessment.

Security Awareness Course
In today’s world of rising data loss cases, regulatory fines and malware attacks, security must be seen as every employee’s responsibility. Do you feel you have armed your employees with the skills they need to protect your data?
Many companies protect themselves on a logical and physical plane and forget that the most dangerous asset on the network is the user.
They can be tricked into providing their company credentials via a phishing attack or open your company up to compromise via brute force attacks by using poorly chosen passwords.
Failure to recognise this can leave your company with a gaping hole in its defences.
