Cyber Advisor

The Cyber Advisor scheme offers cost effective cyber security advice and practical support through NCSC Assured Cyber Advisors. A Cyber Advisor can provide cyber security advice tailored to small and medium sized organisations’ needs. The focus of that advice and support is on the implementation of the technical controls set out in Cyber Essentials. This approach will improve the cyber security of small organisations and reduce the likelihood of the most commonly experienced cyber attacks. 

In the future, we will explore whether we can assist small organisations by assuring Cyber Advisors in other areas of cyber security.

The Cyber Advisor scheme gives you the confidence that your chosen service provider is offering cyber security advice to an NCSC approved standard.

Our Cyber Advisors have passed an independent assessment. This measured their:

• knowledge and understanding of the Cyber Essentials’ technical controls
• competence in providing practical, hands-on support
• ability to understand and work with small and medium sized organisations.

All Cyber Advisors must work for a company which has met the NCSC’s standards and been accepted as an Assured Service Provider. 

The Cyber Advisor scheme is for small and medium sized organisations across the UK aiming to improve their basic cyber security and avoid the disruption caused by some of the most common cyber attacks.
