The Department for Culture, Media and Sport with Innovate UK is funding a special strand of Innovation Vouchers to help UK businesses get expert advice in protecting their business from cyber crime which could help them to achieve certification under the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme is open to Start ups, micro and SME’s.

You can get an Innovation Voucher worth up to £5,000 to pay for an external expert. This expert will give you advice on cyber security for your business and may be able to help you acquire certification through Cyber Essentials. You can also use the voucher for advice on how to protect new business ideas and intellectual property in cyber security.

The Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber attacks. It can help you develop a secure platform for your business activities. You can also get certification to show that you have taken these precautions.

You can use an expert from one of the following:

• universities and further education colleges
• research and technology organisations
• technical consultancies
• Catapult centres
• design advisers
• intellectual property advisers
