What is the difference between Cyber Maturity Assessments and Cyber Essentials
Cyber Maturity Assessment
A Cyber Maturity Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an organisation’s cyber security posture, focusing on a wide range of aspects including people, processes, and technology. It is designed to identify gaps, assess vulnerabilities, and provide a detailed roadmap for remediation. The assessment is typically aligned with industry standards such as the NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security and the NIST Cyber Security Framework, and it offers tailored recommendations to enhance overall cyber security maturity.
Cyber Essentials Certification
On the other hand, Cyber Essentials Certification is a UK government- backed scheme that focuses on five basic technical controls to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. There are two levels: Cyber Essentials, which is a self-assessment, and Cyber Essentials Plus, which includes an independent audit. This certification is primarily aimed at demonstrating baseline cyber security measures and is often a requirement for certain government contracts and industry regulations.
The benefits include
- Comprehensive Security Evaluation
- Regulatory Compliance
- Risk Mitigation
- Cost Savings
- Improved Security Posture
At TechForce Cyber, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their cybersecurity goals. Our team of experienced security professionals provides a comprehensive and thorough analysis of an organisation's security posture, identifying vulnerabilities and providing recommendations for improvement.
