Secure your charity business for less with Cyber Essentials Certification!
This Cyber Security Awareness Month, we’re offering an opportunity for UK registered charities to become Cyber Essentials certified at a discounted rate! The government-backed scheme allows you to get the fundamental cyber security principles in place, reducing your overall risk of a breach and boosting your cyber resilience.
Over the last 12 months, 32% of charity organisations report having experienced a cyber breach or attack. The charity sector continues to be highly targeted due to wealth of highly sensitive information and lack of in-house expertise, with common cyber threats include phishing, ransomware, and supply chain attacks. Prioritising cyber security defences is not only advised, it’s essential.
But that’s where Citation Cyber can help! Until 31 October, you can achieve Cyber Essentials certification for even less.
