Get Ready for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
Find and fix the gaps before the certification assessment, so you pass first time and have the evidence to prove it.
Overview
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed baseline for cyber security, and it is increasingly a requirement in supplier questionnaires and public sector tenders. Cyber Essentials Plus adds hands-on technical verification. We help you prepare: we test your internet-facing systems and in-scope devices against the five Cyber Essentials control areas, verify and prioritise what we find, and help you fix it. We are not a certification body - once you are ready, you apply for certification through an accredited certification body of your choice.
What We Cover
Firewalls & Boundary
Exposed services, open ports and firewall rules on your internet-facing systems.
Secure Configuration
Default credentials, unnecessary services and insecure settings.
Security Update Management
Outdated software and unpatched systems with known vulnerabilities.
User Access Control
Account privileges, admin access and authentication weaknesses.
Malware Protection
Review of protections in place on in-scope devices and systems.
Example Engagement
A typical readiness engagement starts with a free scoping call to agree what is in scope. We then run a verified vulnerability assessment of your external attack surface and review your configuration against the Cyber Essentials control areas. You receive a prioritised remediation plan, we help you close the gaps, and we retest so you can go into certification with confidence.
