cybersecurity posture through
Cyber Essentials & Trust marks
Whether you are a small organisation embarking on your digital journey or a large multi-national corporation with digitalised business functions, cyber risks are getting more sophisticated, and all organisations are at risk. The cybersecurity certification scheme for organisations is developed by CSA to recognise organisations with good cybersecurity practices. The Cyber Essentials mark recognises organisations that have put in place cyber hygiene measures, while the Cyber Trust mark is a mark of distinction to recognise organisations with comprehensive cybersecurity measures and practices. The marks serve as visible indicators to demonstrate that organisations have put in place good cybersecurity practices to protect their operations and customers against cyber-attacks.

About Cyber Essentials Mark
The Cyber Essentials mark is a cybersecurity certification for organisations that are embarking on their cybersecurity journey. It serves to recognise that the organisation has put in place good cyber hygiene practices to protect their operations and their customers against common cyber attacks.
The Cyber Essentials mark is targeted at organisations such as Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), where some smaller enterprises have limited IT and/or cybersecurity expertise and resources to dedicate towards protecting IT assets and personnel. ​
About Cyber Trust Mark
The Cyber Trust mark is a cybersecurity certification for organisations with more extensive digitalised business operations. It serves as a mark of distinction for the organisation to prove that they have put in place good cybersecurity practices and measures that are commensurate with their cybersecurity risk profile.
The Cyber Trust mark is targeted at larger or more digitalised organisations that have gone beyond cyber hygiene. These organisations may have higher risk levels and would correspondingly invest in expertise and resources to manage and protect their Information Technology (IT) infrastructure.
