The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is providing an opportunity for third sector organisations in Scotland to access free cyber expertise to help them protect their digital systems and data.
The programme will offer practical support from a Cyber Advisor to either IMPROVE an organisations cyber security through gap-analysis and implementation of the Cyber Essentials controls, or ASSURE an organisation that its existing measures align with the Cyber Essentials controls.
Qualifying organisations must select the level they require and will receive either:
- Improve: 2-days of remote support with an Advisor. This time will be spent identifying and implementing improvements that are right for the size and needs of the organisation to align with the cyber essentials controls. or:
- Assure: 1-day of remote support with an Advisor. This time will be spent supporting them in implementing improvements and providing assurance that they are in line with the requirements of cyber essentials. (Please note: before applying for an Assure package, you will need to complete the Cyber Essentials Readiness Tool.)
Who can apply?
