Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification covering five technical control areas. It's increasingly expected by funders, insurers and corporate clients. I handle both the technical work and the paperwork so you actually pass first time.
A short gap analysis against the current Cyber Essentials requirements. You get a clear list of what's already in place and what needs to change.
Hands-on fixes for the gaps: firewall settings, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and update management.
Phones, tablets and home-working setups properly scoped and protected, which is where most certifications fall down.
I prepare the answers and supporting evidence so you're not staring at a 70-question form on your own.
Renewal handled each year with a fresh assessment, so the certification doesn't lapse and the controls don't drift.
Optional progression to Cyber Essentials Plus, where an assessor independently tests your controls. Preparation and remediation included.
Cyber Essentials FAQ
Typically three to six weeks from kick-off to certified, depending on how many gaps need fixing. Small, well-run setups can be quicker.
The certification fee itself is set by the IASME scheme. My implementation and submission support is a fixed fee based on your team size, confirmed before we start.
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment verified by an assessor. Plus adds an independent technical audit of your devices. Most small organisations start with Cyber Essentials and progress to Plus if a client or funder requires it.
