Achieve Cyber Essentials Certification With Kiteworks: Protecting Sensitive Content and Meeting Security Standards

Launched by the United Kingdom Government’s National Cyber Security Centre in 2014, Cyber Essentials is a security certification designed to help organizations protect their systems, networks, and data from cyberattacks. It is a proven cybersecurity framework that provides organizations of all sizes with essential security controls and business benefits such as increased system and data security, and improved compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR and other existing regulations. It is based on five fundamental security principles that include:

  1. Understanding the threats and risks associated with cybersecurity
  2. Protecting computers and networks against malicious software and other online threats
  3. Checking the strength of passwords and other authentication measures
  4. Setting up firewalls
  5. Training staff on cybersecurity best practices.

There are two levels of certification: Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
