On June 5th, the UK government launched a new industry-backed scheme which helps organisations to protect themselves against cyber attacks. If certification is obtained organisations gain a new Cyber Essentials badge which should assist them in demonstrating to third parties that they have taken the prescribed steps and are managing their exposure to cyber risks.
The UK government requires all suppliers bidding for certain sensitive and personal information handling contracts to be certified against Cyber Essentials scheme from October 2014.
