Free cyber resilience resource to help protect your organisation

Dear Resident

If you’re connected to any business, charity, public authority, or organisation, there’s a free service designed to help protect it from cybercrime. If that’s not you, please signpost to friends, family or colleagues who may benefit.

Online threats such as ransomware, data breaches, and account takeovers are disrupting organisations every day. Whether you run a shop, café, hotel, factory, Airbnb, or you’re a sole trader, charitable trust, or not‑for‑profit using email, social media, websites, computers, or any internet‑enabled devices, the Cyber Resilience Centre exist to help protect you.

These centres provide a public service offering access to training, tools, and guidance that help identify and fix vulnerabilities before criminals exploit them. The training helps staff spot risks, reduces disruption, and supports your data protection and GDPR responsibilities.

Most people know the basics of cyber security, such as:

But after the basics, cyber security can feel complicated, expensive, or overwhelming. Many organisations want to improve their cyber resilience but don’t know where to start or can’t afford specialist support.

That’s where the Cyber Resilience Centre for the South East can help. They are one of nine Home Office‑funded centres across the UK, a collaboration between policing, academia, and the private sector. They provide funded, practical cyber security support tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Membership gives you access to the essential information you were never taught at school. They can help when you’re stuck, keep you updated on the latest threats, and offer free webinars that demystify topics such as securing your website or understanding how criminals target organisations online.

Membership is completely free and takes only a few minutes to set up. Protect your organisation by joining today: www.secrc.police.uk/join
