Cyber Security Review Enterprise Ireland Grant: How Irish SMEs Can Access Funding for Cyber Protection
What is the Cyber Review Grant?
The Cyber Review Grant is a new initiative from Enterprise Ireland and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to help Irish SMEs strengthen their cyber security defences. This initiative gives your organisation access to cybersecurity experts, including Intuity, who will assess your current security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and create a roadmap to improve your defences. The review is tailored to the specific needs of Irish companies, encouraging them to take the next step in their security journey.
What Does the Cyber Security Review Enterprise Ireland Grant Provide?
The Cyber Security Review Grant covers 80% of a fixed €3,000 project cost, providing financial support for eligible companies to enhance their cyber defences.
During the review project, you will receive support from a qualified cybersecurity expert of your choosing. These experts will then:
- Interview the key personnel in your organisation
- Investigate your current company practices
- Review the technical implementation of on-site and cloud software
The expert will provide a report containing actionable recommendations to enhance your cybersecurity, adhering to the best practices outlined by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Most actions will be tailored for direct implementation by your company. Additionally, the report will provide guidance on further industry support and training.
Completing a Cyber Security Review is a required step to apply for the National Cyber Security Centre grant of up to €60,000 – NCC-IE Grants for SMEs. The NCC-IE Cyber Security Improvement Grant will provide funding of 80% of the project cost to:
- Implement priority recommendations from the Cyber Security Review.
- Provide guidance on ongoing cybersecurity and future improvements.
- Re-test your company’s cyber security level post-implementation.
The Application Process
Applying for the Cyber Review Grant is straightforward and takes less than 10 minutes. However, you must be a client of Enterprise Ireland, and the funding is given out on a first come, first served basis.
