SECURITY CERTIFICATION
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help businesses, including dental practices, defend against the most common cyber threats.
By implementing five key security controls, Cyber Essentials can prevent up to 80% of cyber attacks.
With Cyber Essentials, businesses can undertake a self-assessment to ensure they meet these key controls, providing a base level of assurance to customers and stakeholders.
Firewalls & Gateways
Secure your practice’s internet connection with robust firewall configurations.
Secure Configuration
Ensure dental software and devices are set up securely to reduce risks.
Access Control
Restrict access to patient data and systems to authorised users only.
Malware Protection
Protect your systems from viruses and ransomware with advanced security solutions.
Patch Management
Keep dental practice software and devices updated to safeguard against vulnerabilities.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the basic Cyber Essentials certification with independent technical verification. This includes external vulnerability scans and security tests conducted by certified assessors, ensuring that your practice’s security measures are not just in place, but actively protecting your systems.
Unlike the self-assessment approach of Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus provides a higher level of assurance through thorough hands-on verification.
