SMB1001 Silver Certification – Tier 2

Advanced Cyber-Defence for Growing Organisations

Designed for businesses that have outgrown basics, the Silver Tier adds identity controls, web/email defences and formal compliance frameworks — assuring you to serve larger clients and partners.

Silver Certificate Overview

Silver enhances identity protection with multi-factor authentication, password management, improves email and web security, and enforces policies to prevent fraud.

The result is a multi-layered security posture that significantly reduces the risk of successful attacks such as phishing-based business email compromise, while remaining user-friendly for your team’s day-to-day work. Silver is ideal for organisations that have matured beyond the basics (for example, professional services firms, healthcare clinics, or retailers expanding online) and need to assure clients and partners of a higher security standard.

What You’ll Get

How It Works

Core Controls & Implementation Path

MFA Everywhere
Deploy MFA for all email and cloud accounts (control 2.5.0.0). Using app or hardware tokens instead of SMS/email only significantly lowers credential-theft risk.
We implement an enterprise password manager and enforce unique user accounts (controls 2.4.0.0, 2.3.0.0, 2.2.0.0), and apply strict least-privilege access controls.
We deploy next-gen antivirus (e.g., Microsoft Defender) paired with an EDR agent (e.g., Huntress) on every endpoint. If malware executes, it’s blocked, and the SOC is alerted for investigation.
Implement DNS-layer web filtering (e.g., Cisco Umbrella) to block access to known phishing or malware domains before they reach your devices or network.
Install and manage valid TLS certificates (control 1.5.0.0) for public-facing services, ensuring visitor data in transit is encrypted and clients see the secure lock icon.
Provide policy templates and process frameworks (e.g., NDA 4.1.0.0, invoice-fraud 4.2.0.0, visitor-register 4.3.0.0) to defend against social engineering and fraud.
Achieve SMB1001 Silver Certification

For businesses with a low risk profile, the Advanced Cyber Defence (Level 2) package provides enhanced security for businesses facing moderate risk.

Implementing this package enables your organization to attain the Capital Cyber SMB1001 Silver Level 2 certification, showcasing to clients, partners, and insurers that you uphold recognized security standards. It also offers third-party validation and a publicly accessible record of your dedication to responsible cyber risk management.
