Cyber Essentials

Cyber-attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks

There are two levels of certification, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Cyber Essentials

This is a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) through the form of an online portal. The SAQ consists of roughly 70 questions on the 5 controls that Cyber Essentials focuses on.

Renewals

Both levels of certification need renewing on an annual basis.

SOC Platforms

Providers we use

When selecting a SOC package for your business, several considerations should be made. Is it compatible with your existing IT infrastructure? Does the SOC platform align with your needs and safeguard your digital assets?

At Cybaverse, we offer packages with both Crowdstrike and Microsoft Sentinel meaning you're not limited to working with one provider that doesn't suit your businesses needs.

CrowdStrike integrates with various security tools, enabling seamless data sharing and correlation across your security infrastructure.

In comparison to other penetration test offers that we had received we felt that Cybaverse’s was the most honest. A lot of other testers had originally said they would be able to test all our infrastructure in 3-4 days, which was later proven to be impossible.
