Lineal has been awarded Cyber Advisor status by the UK National Cyber Security Centre – in recognition of our ongoing work in support of the UK Cyber Essentials scheme.
As the public facing arm of GCHQ, the National Cyber Security Centre is responsible for engaging with businesses, the public sector and general public to improve the cyber security of the UK. The NCSC provides a single point of contact that helps law enforcement, defence, intelligence and security agencies coordinate and raise awareness of the importance of digital resilience.
Lineal are among a small handful of official recognised Cyber Advisors based in the South West, recognised for our ability to guide businesses and organisations through the process of obtaining UK Cyber Essentials (and Cyber Essentials Plus) Certification.
Cyber Essentials requires businesses to meet or exceed an assured set of security requirements each year, to protect against common forms of online crime, technology dangers and digital threats. Certified by the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Essentials has become a standard good-practice requirement for all businesses looking to trade with public-sector organisations, helps build trust among customers, and helps demonstrate that an organisation is working hard to keep systems, staff and data safe.
Not dependent on specific technology or solutions, CE relies on demonstrating basic underlying controls and fundamental cyber hygiene, and organisations who obtain certification see both fewer instances of cyber breaches and the ability to recover faster in the event of an incident. A more advanced certification, Cyber Essentials Plus, is independently audited to build a more comprehensive security posture.
In addition, Lineal offer a wide range of key cyber security solutions both individually and as part of Managed Cyber Security packages.
We’ve helped numerous business successfully obtain Cyber Essentials for the first time – speak to us about how we can help your team do the same.
