Cyber Essentials Training: Mastering the Five Key Controls for Digital Security

Tuesday July 7th
10.00 – 1.00
On-line

Navigating the world of cyber security can be intimidating, especially with the ever-changing threats and technical language. Yet, in a world where cyberattacks are increasingly targeting organisations of all sizes, including charities, it’s crucial to understand how to defend your assets.

Half of businesses (50%*) and around a third of charities (32%*) in the UK reported a cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months. Without the right safeguards in place, you risk exposing your organisation to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational harm.

This three-hour workshop offers an accessible introduction to Cyber Essentials, a government-backed framework designed to help organisations protect themselves from the most common cyber threats.

It also includes coverage of the 2026 ‘Danzell’ updates, explaining what has changed and what it means in practice for your organisation.

Over two engaging sessions, we’ll break down the scheme’s five critical controls and run a live hack, including reconnaissance and initial access, where you will play a lead role in the operation.

By the end of the training, you’ll be equipped with actionable strategies to strengthen your organisation’s digital defences.
