While not mandatory to achieve Cyber Essentials, having CyberSmart Active Protect offers ongoing monitoring and confidence in maintaining a secure business environment.
​
Think of the Cyber Essentials process like a snapshot captured in time, much like a car's MoT inspection. It's effective only on the assessment day. Just as a car needs regular maintenance to stay roadworthy, Cyber Essentials principles require continuous attention.
​
That's why we recommend businesses to embrace the Cyber Essentials scheme by adopting CyberSmart Active Protect for their devices. It's designed to uphold Cyber Essentials standards over time, ensuring constant compliance and security.
​
Furthermore, here are some additional benefits of using CyberSmart Active Protect in conjunction with Cyber Essentials:
​
​Efficient Data Gathering: Active Protect can assist you in efficiently answering specific questions within the Cyber Essentials Survey, such as listing the total number of devices in your organisation. It simplifies the data collection process, saving you time and effort.
​
​Enhanced Compliance: Active Protect acts as a proactive filter, identifying non-compliant devices within your network. This feature proves invaluable when completing the Cyber Essentials Survey, as it highlights areas that may require immediate attention and remediation.
​
​

​
By integrating CyberSmart Active Protect into your cybersecurity strategy, you not only align with Cyber Essentials standards but also gain a powerful tool for maintaining continuous compliance and security.
