Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification
UK government-backed cyber security accreditation, delivered with senior-led guidance. We help you prepare, remediate and certify with confidence.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed baseline certification that protects organisations against the most common cyber threats. It focuses on five technical controls: secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access control, malware protection, and patch management.
- Self-assessment readiness review and evidence gap analysis
- Implementation guidance for the five core controls
- Submission pack preparation and question-by-question support
- Remediation of failed responses before final submission
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus adds independent technical verification to the baseline certification. An assessor runs vulnerability scans and checks that your controls are implemented correctly on a sample of devices, giving stakeholders and clients greater assurance.
- Pre-assessment vulnerability scanning and remediation planning
- Device and build configuration review against Plus requirements
- Assessor coordination and evidence of control effectiveness
- Post-certification roadmap to ISO 27001 or NIST CSF alignment

Clear milestones from gap analysis through to submission or assessment day.
Work directly with experienced cyber consultants and vCISOs, not junior analysts.
Use Cyber Essentials as a stepping stone to ISO 27001, NIST CSF or PCI DSS alignment.
