Six Business Benefits of Being Cyber Essentials Ready

27/09/2021

Elliot and Dot are local food producers. To expand their business, they plan to tender for public sector and supply chain contracts. As a result, their business needs to have the correct policies and accreditations in place. One requirement is completing Cyber Essentials certification. Often this is mandatory for suppliers looking to bid for certain government or MOD contracts. It would also demonstrate that Elliot and Dot’s business meets all five key basic IT security controls set out by the scheme. This would help to reduce the cybersecurity risk within a prospective supply chain.
