Cyber MOT & Cyber Essentials

Worried about cyber threats? Gain peace of mind with a cyber security ‘MOT’

Bluecube can thoroughly check that your organisation’s IT systems and infrastructure are secure by carrying out our validation and assessment service, which you can think of as a Cyber ‘MOT’. This provides you with an in-depth view of your current cyber security status, allowing you to gain clarity on the existing level of protection your IT systems have and the controls in place - as well as identifying security gaps, risks and vulnerabilities.

Armed with this knowledge, your business can then take practical steps to defend itself against cyber crime and threats. This can help prepare for, and lead into, Cyber Essentials certification as well if desired.

The most significant threat facing small businesses continues to be from cyber crime, such as phishing and ransomware*. Cyber Essentials implements 5 ‘essential’ controls to boost your organisation’s cyber security to a level where it will prevent around 80% of the most common cyber attacks.

What is a Cyber 'MOT'?

Our Cyber MOT takes a deep dive into your IT estate and infrastructure, existing controls and vulnerabilities – validating and assessing its security status. Our MOT service can also include Cyber Essentials and/or Cyber Essentials Plus assessment and certification too.

Our aim is to equip our clients with an in-depth understanding of their cyber strengths and weaknesses. Bluecube can then remediate any vulnerabilities, bringing their IT estate up to a known good and defendable state. Similar to a vehicle MOT, this process can be repeated annually, or more frequently if used alongside our continuous Secure, Detect and Respond service.

Many businesses choose to use a validation and assessment service for a variety of different reasons, such as following on from a recovery, for peace of mind, or when they are starting with a new Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).

Bluecube are here to offer you peace of mind and get your IT estate into a strong, defended position.
