Cyber Essentials Plus

Certified, not just compliant.

The government-backed standard that proves you take security seriously — increasingly demanded by clients, insurers and panels. We've held Cyber Essentials Plus since the year we were founded.

What it is

The badge that opens doors.

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that covers the five core controls stopping the most common attacks. Cyber Essentials Plus adds hands-on technical verification — an assessor checks it's actually true, not just claimed.

More and more contracts, insurers and referral panels now require it. We've been Cyber Essentials Plus certified since the year we were founded, so the controls we put in place for you are exactly the ones we live by — and most of our clients pass first time.

What's included

From gap to certified.

Both certifications

Cyber Essentials and the hands-on-verified Cyber Essentials Plus — we guide you through whichever your clients and insurers require.

Gap assessment first

We check you against all five controls before any formal assessment, so you go in knowing you'll pass.

We do the remediation

Where there are gaps, we fix them — MFA, patching, firewalls, access control — as part of getting you certified.

First-time pass rate

Most of our clients pass on the first attempt, because we don't book the assessment until the controls are genuinely in place.

Annual renewal handled

Certification lasts a year. We manage the renewal so you stay continuously certified without the scramble.

A foundation, not a tick-box

The controls that earn the badge are the same ones that genuinely reduce your risk — so it's real security, not paperwork.

How it works

We'll get you there — and keep you there.

01

Assess

We measure you against the five controls and produce a short list of what stands between you and certification.

02

Remediate

We close the gaps — the same hardening we'd do anyway: MFA, patching, secure config, access control.

03

Certify

We prepare the evidence and support you through the assessment, including the hands-on testing for Plus.

04

Maintain

We keep the controls in place and manage the annual renewal, so the badge stays valid year on year.

Part of the package

Included, not itemised.

You don't buy these one by one. It's all in the same managed package — here's more of what comes as standard.
