Cyber Essentials
& Cyber Essentials Plus

NCSC-backed certification that demonstrates your organisation meets baseline cybersecurity standards — mandatory for UK government contracts and increasingly expected across the financial services supply chain.

NCSC Cyber Essentials Certification

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme designed to protect organisations against the most common cyber attacks. The scheme addresses five key technical controls that, when properly implemented, can prevent the vast majority of commodity attacks.

Simbix provides both pre-assessment readiness consulting and formal Cyber Essentials Plus technical auditing, with hands-on vulnerability verification across your live environment.

Five Key Controls

  • Firewalls & Internet Gateways
  • Secure Configuration
  • User Access Control
  • Malware Protection
