Synopsis
Come and hear about the benefits that the UK Government backed Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications can offer SMEs and the ways to approach the requirements which SMEs often find challenging.
There are good reasons to apply for Cyber Essentials even if you are not obligated to meet procurement or contractual requirements with certification for SMEs starting from just £300+VAT.
Many SMEs face common challenges when applying for certification; hear from a certification provider about practical approaches to deliver these requirements.
Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the certification provider and people who have helped their SME organisations achieve and maintain certification whilst their organisations grow.
This is an in-person event and free for everybody to attend.
