Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many (a) small and medium-sized enterprises and (b) other businesses have signed up to the Cyber Essentials Scheme.
A total of 44,443 Cyber Essentials certificates have been awarded to organisations. The breakdown is as follows:
Micro 9,559
Small 14,423
Medium 9,068
Large 7,116
Some of the older certificates do not have an organisation size recorded, which is why the combined total above does not add up to 44,443.
