How can Beaming help you achieve Cyber Essentials?
Beaming is well placed to help businesses work towards Cyber Essentials certification. As both an internet service provider and a managed IT services provider, we have a detailed understanding of our customers’ connectivity, infrastructure and IT environments. This means we can provide practical advice and help them answer technical questions accurately.
We have supported a range of organisations through the Cyber Essentials process. Our approach is to recommend security improvements that move customers towards the required standards, often before they begin their initial application.
This may include:
- Making sure routers and other networking equipment are supported and receiving security updates
- Ensuring company devices are securely configured and properly managed
- Enforcing multi-factor authentication for access to important systems
- Reviewing software, user access and security settings
As more businesses move from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based services, we have also helped customers implement secure solutions using Microsoft Entra ID for identity and access management, and Microsoft Intune for device management. When configured correctly, these services can provide a strong foundation for meeting Cyber Essentials requirements.
Support throughout the application process
When a customer is ready to apply for Cyber Essentials, they engage directly with their chosen certification body. The application usually includes questions about the organisation itself, as well as its internal policies and procedures. These will need to be answered by the customer.
For questions relating to IT, connectivity and infrastructure, Beaming can provide guidance and help the customer work through the relevant sections of the application.
Where we identify any gaps or weaknesses, we will explain what needs to be addressed and recommend practical improvements. This helps the customer strengthen their cyber security and prepare for the certification assessment with greater confidence.
