Cyber Essentials

Silver Birch Care are delighted to receive Cyber Essentials certification!

Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats.

The Government worked with the Information Assurance for Small and Medium Enterprises (IASME) consortium and the Information Security Forum (ISF) to develop Cyber Essentials. The scheme is suitable for all organisations, of any size, in any sector. It is backed by industry including the Federation of Small Businesses, the CBI, and a number of insurance organisations which are offering incentives for businesses.

From 1 October 2014, Government requires all suppliers bidding for contracts involving the handling of certain sensitive and personal information to be certified against the Cyber Essentials scheme.

Our certification demonstrates our commitment to cyber security, and protects all our staff and young people against cyber related attacks. It gives us peace of mind that our defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.
