The Cyber Basics Review (or CBR) is a review of the basic IT security and information management systems and processes that an organisation has in place. It has significantly less depth than the Government’s Cyber Essentials standard, however for an organisation without any cyber security standards in place it ensures the fundamental controls are in place.
The scheme was developed by Hertfordshire County Council’s Trading Standards Business team alongside the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire and the Hertfordshire Constabulary, and aims to raise awareness of the importance of cyber security amongst small business.
