CE / CE+
CE (Cyber Essentials) is a certification framework sponsored by the UK Government to assist organizations in securing themselves against general cyber and cybersecurity attacks. There is a simple but secure way to install basic cybersecurity practices in an organization through secure configuration, access control policies, malware protection policies, patch management policies, and boundary firewalls. The certification of CE ensures that an organization has protected itself against basic security practices to avoid cybersecurity breaches and win the trust of its customers.
CE+ (Cyber Essentials Plus) strengthens the existing CE by requiring an independent, hands-on technical verification of an organization's cybersecurity controls. In this case, whereas CE provides a privately assessed process, CE+ provides a process that includes external testing, such as vulnerability scans, and also an internal security review to ensure that the security controls have been properly implemented and working properly. This provides an increased level of confidence, as it not only provides stakeholders with information on whether an organization is adhering to security best practices but also provides information on whether it has effective security against common cyber threats.
