Marshall Launches Cyber Essentials Certification Packages for UK Businesses

Marshall, a leading IT support and cybersecurity provider for creative and professional industries, has announced the launch of its new Cyber Essentials Certification Packages designed to help businesses of all sizes improve their cyber resilience and demonstrate compliance with UK cybersecurity standards. As digital threats continue to evolve, small and medium-sized enterprises remain particularly vulnerable. According to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 59% of medium businesses and 43% of small businesses reported cyberattacks in 2024. With ransomware, phishing, and data theft on the rise, many organisations are now prioritising certification as a visible sign of their commitment to cyber safety. A Proactive Step Toward Building Trust The new Cyber Essentials Certification Packages from Marshall provide a structured, accessible pathway for businesses to strengthen their defences against modern cyber threats. Developed by cybersecurity specialists with decades of industry experience, these packages are tailored to help businesses not only pass the certification process but also build lasting, practical security habits. “Cyber Essentials certification is no longer just a box-ticking exercise. It’s a statement that your business takes security seriously,” said Gary Marshall, CEO of Marshall. “Customers, partners, and even insurers now expect it. It helps protect your reputation, reduce risk, and often lower insurance premiums. We’ve designed our packages to make the journey simple, transparent, and highly effective.” Why Certification Matters More Than Ever In today’s digital landscape, a single breach can damage more than just systems — it can erode years of trust. Businesses without strong cybersecurity frameworks are increasingly viewed as high-risk partners. Marshall’s Cyber Essentials Certification Packages provide practical protection against common attacks such as malware infections, unauthorised access, and phishing scams, while also demonstrating that an organisation is compliant with recognised security standards. Beyond compliance, certification signals to clients and stakeholders that data protection is taken seriously. It can also help businesses win new contracts, particularly in the public sector, where Cyber Essentials certification is often mandatory. The Wider Picture: Growing Cybersecurity Demands Globally, cybercrime is estimated to cost businesses over £7 trillion annually, with small businesses often bearing the brunt. Many of these attacks could be prevented by adopting basic cyber hygiene practices — the very principles covered in Marshall’s new certification packages. Alongside certification, the company also offers a suite of cybersecurity services designed to complement ongoing risk management efforts. These services include vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, data backup solutions, and proactive monitoring, ensuring a holistic approach to protection. Supporting Businesses to Build a Secure Digital Future Marshall has built its reputation on providing IT and cybersecurity solutions that empower UK businesses to thrive in an increasingly digital economy. With the launch of its Cyber Essentials Certification Packages, the company is making it easier for organisations to meet national standards, protect valuable data, and maintain the trust of clients and partners. “Our goal is to simplify cybersecurity for business owners,” added Marshall. “We’ve seen too many companies caught out by preventable issues. Certification gives businesses confidence that their defences are in place, their staff are trained, and their clients can rely on them.” About Marshall Marshall is a London-based IT support and cybersecurity provider serving creative, professional, and growing businesses across the UK.
