 We have recently assisted with 2 of our clients in becoming Cyber Essentials Certified - taking them through the whole process from assessment, to betterment and finally to certification!
There are more revisions to Cyber Essentials next due in October however, IASME the body that administers Cyber Essentials, is pushing the government to toughen the law around cyber security. This is generally in harmony with the governments thinking and so we wouldn’t be surprised to see legislation soon. In particular IASME are lobbying for a clause within a digital services bill to force all Managed Service Providers (MSPs), IT companies to you and us, to have Cyber Essentials as a minimum. This makes sense because if IT companies aren’t protecting their assets they are putting at risk all clients. With an average of 100 clients in a MSP the potential is huge for cyber criminals. Maybe now is the time to check if your current IT Provider has Cyber Essentials and if not, why not? If they can’t answer then maybe it is time to change provider! Ashgates IT are Cyber Essentials certified and we are more than happy to assist others in becoming so as well. Please feel free to get in touch if you require guidance on becoming Cyber Essentials Certified! Comments are closed.
