Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that shows customers, insurers and partners you have the essential technical controls in place. We guide you through the whole process — from first self-assessment to independently verified audit.
Why Cyber Essentials matters
The scheme addresses the most common attack vectors: weak passwords, missing updates, insecure configuration and unrestricted access. Certification demonstrates a baseline of hygiene that buyers and supply chains increasingly expect.
Because we work hands-on with these controls every day, we can tell you exactly what an assessor will look for — and fix the gaps before they become findings.
Self-assessedCyber Essentials (Basic)
A questionnaire-based certification covering five technical controls. We support you through completion, review your answers before submission, and help you interpret the scheme's requirements in the context of your environment.
- Questionnaire support and pre-submission review
- Evidence guidance for each of the five controls
- Interpretation help — what assessors actually expect
- Certification submission handled with you
Independently verifiedCyber Essentials Plus
The audited tier: an independent technical verification of the controls you declared. We prepare your environment and evidence so the external assessment goes smoothly.
- Pre-audit readiness review of endpoints and estate
- Remediation of gaps found during preparation
- Coordination with the certification body
- Clear briefings so your team knows what to expect
