Cyber Essentials Support

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a vital step for any organisation looking to protect itself from common cyber threats and demonstrate a commitment to cybersecurity. Our Cyber Essentials service prepares your organisation for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, guiding you through the process to ensure a smooth and successful certification experience.

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations of all sizes protect against common cyber attacks. Achieving certification not only strengthens your security posture but also builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

How we support your Cyber Essentials certification:

  • Initial Assessment and Gap Analysis: We start with a detailed assessment of your current cyber security measures, identifying any gaps in compliance with the Cyber Essentials requirements. This gap analysis provides a clear roadmap for achieving certification.
  • Cyber Essentials Self-Assessment Support: For the Cyber Essentials certification, we help you complete the self-assessment questionnaire, providing guidance on answering each section accurately and ensuring that your responses align with the standard’s requirements.
  • Pre-Certification Testing: Before the official assessment, we conduct our own testing to verify that your systems meet Cyber Essentials standards. This allows us to address any issues in advance, increasing the likelihood of passing the certification with ease.
  • Remediation Support: If any issues are identified during the certification process, we offer hands-on remediation support to quickly address these gaps. Our goal is to help you resolve any non-compliances effectively to keep the certification on track.
  • Implementation of Core Security Controls: We assist you in implementing the five core security controls required by Cyber Essentials, which include firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. Our team ensures that each control is configured effectively to maximise your security.
  • Preparation for Cyber Essentials Plus: Cyber Essentials Plus includes an independent assessment of your systems, so we help prepare you for this more rigorous level of certification. This includes checking configurations, scanning for vulnerabilities, and ensuring that all controls are implemented and effective.
  • Guidance on Evidence Submission: For Cyber Essentials Plus, we support you in collecting and submitting the necessary evidence, ensuring that you are fully prepared for the external assessment. Our team provides clear guidance on what is needed and how best to present it.
  • Certification Maintenance and Renewals: Cyber Essentials certification requires an annual renewal to remain valid. We provide ongoing support to ensure that your security measures continue to meet Cyber Essentials standards, making the renewal process seamless.
