Led by an NCSC Assured Service Provider, the session then explores what credible cyber hygiene looks like in practice, how it aligns with the five Cyber Essentials controls, and what independent verification involves during a Cyber Essentials Plus assessment. With input from an NCSC‑assured Cyber Advisor, the workshop provides accessible, actionable guidance to help SMEs build a more secure and resilient operating environment.Event backgroundEarly last year, Plexal and Northern Reach delivered a series of industry roundtables on behalf of Lancashire County Council to explore the needs of the region’s cyber ecosystem ahead of the arrival of the National Cyber Force. These conversations highlighted key challenges and priorities for SMEs.
