Cyber Essentials is backed by the UK's government. It helps an organization get the essentials of cyber security covered to decrease the chance of basic cyber attacks.
Cyber Essentials is backed by the United Kingdom's government to help protect organisations, large or small, from cyber attacks. It is a good tool for getting the essentials of cyber security to a level which helps decrease the chance of your organisation to be vulnerable to basic cyber attacks.
Below you'll find all of the requirements of this framework. In Cyberday, we map all requirement to global tasks, making multi-compliance management easy. Do it once, and see the progress across all frameworks!
The organisation must routinely prevent access to the administrative interface (used to manage firewall configuration) from the Internet, unless there is a clear and documented business need and the interface is protected by one of the following controls: o a second authentication factor, such as a one-time token o an IP allow list that limits access to a small range of trusted addresses
Use a host-based firewall on devices which are used on untrusted networks, such as public Wi-Fi hotspots.
remove and disable unnecessary user accounts (such as guest accounts and administrative accounts that won’t be used)
change any default or guessable account passwords to something nonobvious
remove or disable unnecessary software (including applications, system utilities and network services)
disable any auto-run feature which allows file execution without user authorisation (such as when they are downloaded from the Internet)
authenticate users before allowing Internet-based access to commercially or personally sensitive data, or data which is critical to the running of the organisation
have a password policy that tells users:
have a user account creation and approval process
authenticate users before granting access to applications or devices, using unique credentials (see Password-based authentication)
remove or disable user accounts when no longer required (when a user leaves the organisation or after a defined period of account inactivity, for example)
implement two-factor authentication, where available
use administrative accounts to perform administrative activities only (no emailing, web browsing or other standard user activities that may expose administrative privileges to avoidable risks)
remove or disable special access privileges when no longer required (when a member of staff changes role, for example)
