Why it matters
Contracts ask for it
Councils, the NHS, and a growing number of larger companies require Cyber Essentials from suppliers. No badge, no bid.
Insurers price on it
Certification comes with included cyber insurance for smaller firms, and many insurers discount premiums or require it outright.
It actually works
The five controls block the common, automated attacks that cause most small business breaches. This is baseline hygiene, not security theatre.
