Cyber Essentials Accreditation
Achieve essential cyber security certification with tailored support to meet Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus standards, ensuring your business is protected from common threats.
The accreditation can be upgraded to Cyber Essentials Plus, which includes a thorough physical assessment of your systems by a certified expert. This more in-depth evaluation provides extra assurance to your customers and suppliers that your business is fully committed to safeguarding both your data and theirs, reinforcing trust and demonstrating a higher level of security compliance.
Cyber Essentials Plus offers a hands-on technical audit by a certified assessor, ensuring stronger, up-to-date cyber defences. This rigorous certification boosts confidence in your security, setting your business apart and enhancing trust with customers and suppliers.
Option 1
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme designed to help businesses, especially SMEs, strengthen their IT defences and publicly demonstrate their commitment to cyber security. While mandatory for some, such as Public Sector organisations, it also shows customers that your business follows five basic security controls, ensuring their data is protected.

Option 2
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus (CEP) involves a thorough audit by a trained assessor to verify that all Cyber Essentials controls are effectively implemented across your network.
The assessment includes auditing a sample of devices to ensure they meet scheme requirements, performing vulnerability and external port scans, and testing default email and browser configurations against potential threats. Screenshots are taken as evidence of compliance, confirming that your system is secure and up to the Cyber Essentials standard.
