Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed certification scheme. The Hub signposts businesses to the NCSC and to certification bodies rather than duplicating their guidance.
Findings from the pre-launch consultation with businesses, educators, community organisations and public bodies. Authored by Rebecca Robinson and Wayne Horkan.
The library is being populated. Toolkits, checklists, event recordings, Hub guides, participant resources and partner toolkits will be added, each with its author and publication date. Strategic and regional research lives on the Cluster site rather than here.
