Cyber Essentials Certification
Guided, no-jargon support to help your business scope, prepare for and achieve Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus — and keep it renewed year after year.
Why Cyber Essentials matters
Cyber Essentials, backed by the UK government and delivered through IASME-licensed Certification Bodies, is fast becoming the baseline evidence that clients, insurers, panels and regulators expect to see. For many growing businesses it’s no longer optional — it’s a condition of winning and keeping work.
The scheme is straightforward in principle but detailed in practice, covering firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management. Getting a clean pass first time means getting the detail right before you apply.
How we help
- Advise on the scope of your assessment and which systems it should cover
- Identify and help remediate the gaps standing between you and certification
- Prepare the supporting policies certification requires
- Configure systems to meet the required technical controls
- Guide you through the application itself, so nothing gets lost in translation
Cyber Essentials Plus
Once the base standard is in place, Cyber Essentials Plus adds independent technical verification — on-site and remote testing that confirms the controls you’ve declared are actually working.
We help you get certification-ready for CE+ and manage the process end-to-end, working alongside a licensed assessor who carries out the formal technical verification.
Recurring service
Certification isn’t a one-off. We offer annual Cyber Essentials renewal as a recurring service, so your certification — and the protection behind it — never lapses.
What a typical engagement looks like
Scope & discovery
We confirm which systems, cloud services and devices fall within scope, and review your current security posture against the requirements.
Remediate
We work through the gaps together — configuration changes, policy gaps, patching and access control — with a clear, prioritised action list.
Apply & certify
We guide the submission itself, then support the technical verification stage if you’re going for Cyber Essentials Plus.
Renew & maintain
Certification is reviewed and renewed annually as part of our ongoing security assurance service.
