PPN 09/23: Updates to the Cyber Essentials Scheme

This PPN provides an update to PPN 09/14 and sets out the actions that in-scope organisations should take to identify and mitigate cyber threats for certain types of contracts, along with resources to support implementation.

Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme to help businesses of any size protect themselves against a range of the most common cyber-attacks. Since 2014, the government has required suppliers bidding for certain types of public contracts to hold Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification (or demonstrate that equivalent controls are in place) to ensure appropriate cyber security controls are in place and reduce cyber security risks in supply chains.
