Cyber Essentials Made Simple for UK Businesses
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cyber security scheme designed to protect organisations from the most common cyber attacks. It focuses on five core technical controls that dramatically reduce your risk.
For many businesses, the challenge isn’t understanding Cyber Essentials — it’s finding the time, knowledge, and confidence to put everything in place.
That’s where we come in.
Integral 365 helps you complete the Cyber Essentials process from start to finish. We guide you through every requirement, implement practical steps, strengthen your data security, and ensure you’re fully prepared to be assessed by a certified Cyber Essentials certification body.
We also provide cyber essentials training and cyber security awareness training for employees, helping you reduce the number one cause of breaches: human error.
Cyber Essentials isn’t just a badge — it’s a safer way to run your business.

Why Cyber Essentials Matters
Cyber Essentials gives your business protection against the majority of cyber attacks, helps you win customers, and is increasingly required for UK tenders and supply chain compliance. It’s also one of the most cost-effective ways to strengthen your security posture.
Practical Steps That Make a Real Difference
We focus on simple, effective measures that protect your organisation:
- Securing devices & configurations
- Updating and patching software
- Strengthening passwords & MFA
- Managing user permissions
- Improving malware & ransomware defence
- Training your team to spot threats
These steps are aligned with the National Cyber Security Centre guidance and the official Cyber Essentials scheme.
Turn Awareness Into Protection
Most breaches happen because someone clicks a link, opens a file, or shares information they shouldn’t.
Our cyber essentials training and awareness training courses give your team the confidence to recognise and avoid these threats.
Includes:
- Real phishing examples
- What to do if something feels suspicious
- How attackers trick users
- Simple, memorable steps to stay secure
A more informed team means fewer mistakes — and a safer business.
