This service will help you achieve IASME-licensed Cyber Essentials Plus certification with a little help from us. It is conducted online and includes:
Our Get A Little Help package has been created for organisations with some experience of information security and the five key controls required for certification, but may need assistance defining their scope and answering the IASME questionnaire.
The most important aspect of your CES documentation is that it must be your own work and in your own words. You will need to complete the documents in the toolkit to reflect your organisational culture, your processes and your technologies.
This Cyber Essentials Remote Support service provides up to two hours of support via telephone, email or Microsoft Teams. It is ideal for organisations not certain about the requirements of the scheme, which option to choose, or how to define the scope of the certification.
Your bundle will also include the following:
“Our consultant, Terry Norton, was professional throughout and clearly had a very good knowledge of the standard and the testing, being able to help our IT Administrator ensure the relevant audit tools were installed correctly. We also found Terry friendly, patient and helpful, which is very important for remote sessions.”
- Peter Hodgson, Viewpoint Construction Software Limited
“Professional and supportive, great customer service. Maintained a dialogue without making the candidate feel under pressure with the process. Supportive throughout.”
- Rowan Irwin, T-Systems Limited
The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), whose job it is to uphold the EU GDPR in the UK, recommends Cyber Essentials as “A good starting point” for the cyber security of the IT you rely on to hold and process personal data.
If you would like to bid for central government contracts that involve handling sensitive and personal information or the provision of certain technical products and services, you will require Cyber Essentials certification.
Cyber Essentials Plus will give you the opportunity to work with the UK government and MoD.
Cyber insurance agencies look more favourably on organisations that have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.
Cyber Essentials Plus involves a technical audit of the systems that are in scope for Cyber Essentials. This includes a representative set of workstations, mobile devices and build types used by the organisation’s end users to complete their day-to-day duties. The number of builds is defined by the number of configurations of operating system and software suites installed. If more than one browser or Office suite is used, each variant will need to be tested. If they are installed on the same build, this is acceptable.
