Details

The government-owned Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations of all sizes defend themselves against the most common cyber threats and reduce their online vulnerability. The scheme supports the government’s aim to improve the UK’s cyber resilience, as set out in the £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy 2022.

This “process evaluation” research study investigates the implementation and operation of the Cyber Essentials scheme. The findings will help the government and its partners assess how the current implementation approach is working and the extent to which the scheme is meeting its objectives.

Find more information about Cyber Essentials on National Cyber Security Centre website.

All businesses and organisations should take action to improve their cyber security. For more information and free government advice and support, please see our cyber security guidance for businesses.
