How does Cyber Essentials rank against other security standards like ISO 27001 ?
While the Cyber Essentials scheme provides a good baseline of cybersecurity, it does not go into the same level of detail as other security standards such as ISO 27001.
Cyber Essentials is a great way for organisations who may have no cybersecurity certification, to begin taking steps into formalising their cyber resilience into a recognised accreditation.
Many of our customers who have achieved Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus certification have gone on to achieve ISO 27001; however, the approach to achieving ISO 27001 requires many procedural and technical controls to be in place which would not be covered by Cyber Essentials alone.
