Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a government and industry supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber-attacks. The award of a Cyber Essentials certificate to Londonwide LMCs should assure you that we have taken all necessary steps to protect our systems against cyber-attacks.
The scheme focuses on internet-originated attacks against an organisation’s IT system and organisations are tested on whether five key controls are fit for purpose, namely:
- Boundary firewalls and internet gateways
- Secure configuration
- Access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
If you would like to learn more about the Cyber Essentials scheme and how it might work for your practice please visit the Cyber Essentials’ website.
