How Effective Can Cyber Essentials Be For Your Organisation?

Cyber Essentials is an affordable UK Government backed certification scheme administered by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The certification is a quick, simple, and effective way of greatly boosting your organisation’s cyber security stance and protecting your information and assets. But how effective can it really be?

Lancaster University conducted a report into the effectiveness of Cyber Essentials controls in mitigating threats, by randomly selecting 200 internet based vulnerabilities. Those vulnerabilities were tested upon SME’s networks and where Cyber Essentials tools were adopted, more than 99% of vulnerabilities were mitigated against.

Our certification’s start at the low price of £295 per Cyber Essentials application, with further Supported and Managed options available, so why not protect your organisation today, and contact Bruce & Butler, where our qualified professionals can have your organisation certified in as little 48 hours.

Our Core Values

At Bruce & Butler, we have a few messages that we try to convey to all our partners. These are our core values that run through the way we work and right through each engagement.

Be Real

This is about authenticity. Like people, every business is different and understanding what your organisation represents helps us to support you and the values you hold dear in the best way possible. We actively encourage our team to be themselves, have a personality and express themselves in a respectful way.

Be Brave

Being brave is about taking ownership and having a voice. We are not the sort of cyber security firm who will just say “yes” for speed or simplicity. We will have a voice, we will present challenge where appropriate and we will dig into core issues when required. This is not about being reckless, but about understanding the wider risk landscape and taking appropriate actions in an efficient and effective manner.

Be Open

Put simply, there will be no surprises. Transparency and communication are both key to ensuring that any challenges we face are tackled appropriately and are overcome as efficiently as possible. You will always be updated and informed – but not badgered.

We, not me

There is no “I” in team. We share in each other’s success and learn from each other’s opportunities to improve, but at the end of the day, everyone is always supported. That is something we believe creates a better service and ensures optimal results. Being accountable and securing your data is very important and requires a collaborative approach to get the best results.
