Is this the right service?
A sensible baseline with a recognised outcome.
Cyber Essentials can help you demonstrate good security practice without turning the process into a technical project your team has to manage alone.
You want a clear security starting point
Use the standard to focus attention on the basic protections every organisation should have in place.
You are unsure whether you are ready
Find the gaps early, understand what needs changing and avoid rushing the submission.
How we help
More than answering a questionnaire.
We help you understand the questions, check the underlying controls and make the improvements needed before submission.
Readiness review
Work through your devices, software, access controls, firewalls and update arrangements to identify likely gaps.
Plain-English guidance
Translate technical requirements into clear actions for your team, IT provider or other suppliers.
Remediation support
Help correct configuration and process issues, or coordinate the work with the people who manage your systems.
Supported submission
Help gather accurate answers, review the evidence and keep the process moving through assessment.
Already started the application?
We can review where you have reached, help resolve unclear questions and focus effort on the gaps holding you back.
A clear route to submission
Four practical stages, with support throughout.
The exact work depends on your environment, but the route remains straightforward and visible.
Understand
Confirm your scope, deadline, current setup and reason for seeking certification.
Review
Check the required controls and identify anything likely to prevent a successful submission.
Improve
Make proportionate changes and gather the information needed to answer accurately.
Submit
Complete the assessment with clear answers and help available if questions arise.
What you gain
A stronger baseline you can explain and maintain.
Certification is the visible result. The more valuable outcome is knowing that important everyday controls have been checked and improved.
A defined scope
Clarity about the organisation, people, devices and services covered by the assessment.
A practical action list
Clear priorities for closing gaps, with responsibilities that can be shared across the right people.
Confidence in the answers
A supported submission based on how your environment is actually configured and managed.
A foundation to build on
A useful baseline for further risk reduction, customer assurance and ongoing security improvement.
Common questions
A few things customers usually ask.
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is based on a verified self-assessment. Cyber Essentials Plus uses the same technical requirements but adds independent testing of the controls. We can help you understand which route your customer or contract requires.
Can you guarantee that we will pass?
No responsible provider can guarantee an outcome before reviewing your environment. We can identify likely gaps, help you address them and support an accurate, well-prepared submission.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. We can explain what is needed, agree responsibilities and work alongside your internal team or current IT provider to get the required changes completed.
How long does the process take?
That depends on your starting point, scope and any remediation needed. If you have a customer or tender deadline, tell us early so we can plan the most realistic route.
