What Is Cyber Essentials and Why Coventry Businesses Are Adopting It
Cyber Essentials is becoming increasingly important for SMEs.
For many Coventry based businesses, it is no longer optional. It is a requirement for working with larger organisations and winning new contracts.
At SolaaS Ltd, we are seeing more businesses take steps towards certification.
What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government backed certification that confirms your business has basic cybersecurity measures in place.
It focuses on key areas such as:
- Secure configuration
- Access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
Why Businesses Are Adopting It
There are three main reasons:
Winning contracts
Many organisations now require Cyber Essentials as a minimum standard.

It shows customers and partners that you take security seriously.
