Cyber security continues to be of paramount concern for businesses of all sizes and industries. Protecting sensitive data, ensuring business continuity and building customer trust are crucial aspects of maintaining a competitive edge. But that’s not the whole story.

While improving cyber security measures are undoubtedly important, your business also needs to show credibility in being able to protect your systems and data to reassure your customers and partners. A great way of showing commitment to cyber security is through applying for recognisable certifications such as Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001.

Business benefits of certification

A Technical Roadmap to Cyber Security
Certification provides you with a framework of technical requirements that will safeguard your company from cyber threats. By working towards achieving these requirements, you’ll have a ready-made roadmap of what you need to put in place to greatly improve your cyber security posture. Even if you don’t end up going for the credential after all, it can still be a useful exercise to look at the requirements when setting your cyber security strategy.

Unlock New Business Opportunities
Many organisations now require their business partners to adhere to specific cybersecurity standards before engaging in collaborations. These often require you to demonstrate your high security standards through certification, opening the door to new business prospects and partnerships. So certification gives you a competitive advantage with these organisations and will position your company as a trusted and reliable partner in the market.

Demonstrate Cyber Security Commitment
Demonstrating your cybersecurity readiness by obtaining certifications like Cyber Essentials show your commitment to protecting sensitive data and maintaining a secure operating environment. This demonstration can build trust, enhance your brand image and help retain customers.
