Free Cyber Essentials questionnaire: is it right for your business?

Take this quick test to see if the Cyber Essentials certification will help improve your business’ cyber security.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.


Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a burglar trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our guidance is designed to prevent these attacks.


Although the technical controls are the same, there are two levels of certification under Cyber Essentials: Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
