Cyber Essentials
Build trust by proving your commitment to cyber security.
Cyber Essentials
In today’s threat-driven landscape, demonstrating to your stakeholders that you take security seriously is essential to engendering trust in your organisation. The Cyber Essentials scheme is an accessible way to evidence your commitment to cyber security through a recognised and government-backed standard.
Cyber Essentials Certification Body
As an accredited Cyber Essentials Certification Body, we can guide you through the process and help you achieve certification. Working with us streamlines the process and helps deliver a successful application.
Cyber Essentials will improve your security procedures and guard your organisation against the most common threats. And once certified, you’ll be able to demonstrate to your customers and suppliers that you value security. You’ll also be eligible to bid for government and MOD contracts.
There are two levels of certification. We can support you with both.
Cyber Essentials
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification requires the completion of a self-assessment questionnaire, which a Certification Body then verifies. The questionnaire assesses whether you meet all the requirements under the scheme’s five security controls.
If you have any gaps in your compliance, we’ll assist you in addressing them so your organisation is ready to achieve accreditation. If you need it, we can also help you complete the questionnaire.
Once you meet the criteria, we’ll complete the necessary assessment and issue your certification.

Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus has the exact requirements as the standard certification described left but requires hands-on technical verification. The assessment includes specific internal and external tests to validate the correct implementation of the five control categories.
When you’re ready for the assessment, we’ll run various internal and external vulnerability scans. We’ll also test a sample of end-user and network devices to check they’re secure against cyber attacks. As well as meeting the scheme’s requirements, these checks will provide valuable insight into your defence against cyber crime.
Once satisfied that your organisation meets the stringent criteria, we’ll complete and sign off your certification.
