TigerNet Cyber Security
Cyber security’s core function is to protect the devices we all use (smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers), and the services we access – both online and at work – from theft or damage.
It’s also about preventing unauthorised access to the vast amounts of personal information we store on these devices, and online.
Why is it important?
Cyber security is important because smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a fundamental part of modern life, that it’s difficult to imagine how we’d function without them. From online applications and e-commerce, to email and social media, it’s more important than ever to take steps that can prevent cyber criminals getting hold of our accounts, data, and devices.
Prevent around 80% of cyber attacks
By implementing the five basic security controls, Cyber Security certification like CE & CE+ will help you reduce the impact of such threats as:
- Phishing attacks
- Malware
- Ransomware
- Password-guessing attacks
- Network attacks
and more
IASME Certification takes this to the next level, adopting full process and policy to ensure your business meets the exacting security standards needed today
Work with the UK government and MOD
By obtaining the basic and simple Cyber Security Certification – ‘Cyber Essentials’ you are permitted to work with the UK government and it’s associations. Obtaining the next level ‘Cyber Essentials Plus’ will allow you to work with the MOD too.
IASME work alongside a network of almost 300 expert organisations across the UK and Crown Dependencies to help advise and certify organisations of all sizes in both cyber security and counter fraud. TigerNet helps businesses improve their cyber security, risk management and good governance through an effective and accessible range of certifications.

Achieving a Cyber Security Certification is not only good business practice, in a world where Cyber crimes are becoming the popular method used by criminals, but achieving a Cyber Certification like Cyber Essentials, will help you demonstrate your commitment to data protection and cyber security to all your business partners.
Not only that but it will increase your B2B reputation and attract new business, by assuring customers you take cyber security seriously and have cyber security measures in place.
