Cyber Essentials Certification
The Cyber Essentials scheme is a cybersecurity standard against which organisations can be assessed and certified. The scheme is based on the ’10 Steps to Cyber Security’ which was launched by the government in 2012. Within this, the government urged companies to take ownership of their cyber risks and ensure a minimum level of cybersecurity.
KCS have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.
Our ongoing commitment to cybersecurity, sees KCS achieving certification to the UK government’s Cyber Essentials scheme.
Jointly developed by the UK government and cybersecurity industry, the Cyber Essentials scheme defines a baseline standard of security for businesses in the UK. It outlines the controls that all organisations should implement to help mitigate risks from common internet-based threats.
Cyber Essentials Certification requires:
- That you configure and use a firewall to protect all your devices, particularly those that connect to public or other untrusted Wi-Fi networks.
- That only necessary software, accounts and apps are used.
- That you control access to your data through user accounts, that administrative privileges are only given to those that need them, and that what an administrator can do with those accounts is controlled.
- That you implement measures to defend against malware.
- That you keep your devices, software and apps up to date.
Our certification is part of our journey of continuous security improvement and adds a level of external, independent assurance that we’re doing all the right things to help protect our systems, services and data.
