Cyber Essentials for Architects, Engineers and Construction Professionals

We take the hassle out of achieving and, crucially, maintaining compliance to the government’s
Cyber Essentials scheme using an agent to monitor the compatibility of devices and software
against the standard. Handy, seeing as the scheme prevents approximately
80% of cyberattacks!

Super Control

The 5 specific controls give a Practice a
high level of cybersecurity without an enterprise-level cost. Cyber Essentials prevents or mitigates as much as 99.3%
of attacks (University of Lancaster study).

Client Confidence

Cyber Essentials certification is often
seen as a mark of a commitment to cybersecurity best practices. It can
enhance client confidence by assuring
them that the Practice protects their
data seriously.

Cyber Improvements

Obtaining Cyber Essentials certification involves assessing and implementing
basic cybersecurity controls. This helps Practice’s strengthen their overall cybersecurity infrastructure, reducing
the risk of common cyber threats.

Supplier Assurance

This certification serves as a way to
ensure that the entire supply chain
follows basic cybersecurity practice, reducing the overall risk of cyber
threats.

Public Contracts

Since October 2014, it has been
mandatory to have a Cyber Essentials certificate if you have any public sector
or local authority contracts. Holding a
Cyber Essentials badge enables you to
bid for these contracts.

Insurance Premiums

Some insurance providers may offer
reduced premiums for Practice’s with
Cyber Essentials certification.
This is because accreditation
demonstrates a commitment to cybersecurity best practices, which can reduce the likelihood of a cyber incident.
