I will do your cyber essentials gap assessment

Cyber essentials is a world leading good practice standard for cyber security co-developed by the public facing arm of the UK government's specialist communications monitoring agency GCHQ, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Specific measures included in the Cyber Essentials standard really are fundamental for modern businesses operating in 21st century. They include five focus areas;

   1. Network Traffic Control,

   2. Secure Configuration,

   3. Security Update Management,

   4. Access Control and

   5. Malware Protection

You will receive a comprehensive report of your current alignment to this standard and an action plan to address any gaps.

• For UK based entities; alignment is mandated to conduct business with the central government.
• For international entities; alignment is evidence of good practice based cyber defence capability. This can be leveraged for due diligence exercises when bidding for business with clients based in advanced economies.

Cyber defence is a standard component of supply chain due diligence in advanced economies. Thus, it should be viewed as standard business practice to thrive in 21st century cyber-enabled business ecosystem.
