THE FIVE CONTROLS

The certification covers five core subject areas that are considered essential for establishing good cybersecurity practices. These areas are designed to provide a baseline level of security for organizations.

Firewalls

Protect the network by ensuring that a properly configured firewall is in place to block unauthorized access.

Secure Configuration

Devices and software should be configured with security in mind, including removing or disabling unnecessary features and settings.

Access Control

Restrict access to data and services to only authorized users, ensuring that privileges are granted based on job roles and are regularly reviewed.

Malware Protection

Deploy anti-malware software to protect devices and systems from malicious software and ensure it is updated regularly.

Patch Management

Regularly update and patch software and operating systems to protect against known vulnerabilities.

How do we compare?

Our business model focuses on helping organizations raise the minimum defences required as efficiently as possible and, as a by-product, meet the minimum standard required for accreditation. We offer unlimited re-submissions at the CE stage, removing the prevalent and unjust “maximum revenue through maximum failures” business model.
