What is the NCSC Cyber Advisor scheme?

 

The NCSC Cyber Advisor scheme assures providers who can deliver clear, practical cyber security advice to UK organisations. Its focus sits around the technical controls in Cyber Essentials, giving smaller and medium-sized organisations a trusted route to improving their basic cybersecurity.

Rather than leaving businesses to interpret security requirements alone, the scheme helps them find support from advisors who have met an NCSC-approved standard.

How was it achieved?  What does it mean for clients?

 

Protrona became an NCSC Assured Service Provider by meeting the standards required under the Cyber Advisor scheme. Cyber Advisors must pass an independent assessment covering their knowledge of Cyber Essentials controls, their ability to provide hands-on support, and their understanding of how smaller organisations operate. That combination matters because technical knowledge alone does not always translate into useful advice for busy businesses.

Clients can work with Protrona knowing the advice comes from a provider recognised under an NCSC assurance scheme. That gives businesses more confidence when they need help with secure configuration, access control, malware protection, software updates, firewalls, and wider Cyber Essentials readiness.
