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, servers and build types used by the organisation.
Our Cyber Essentials Plus packages include a Cyber Essentials Plus audit at one location, on up to ten sample devices. Additional workstations, mobile devices, server devices and build types may need to be tested to meet the sampling requirements of the scheme. If you require more than ten devices to be tested, you will need to purchase this service.
The duration of testing depends on the number of builds of user devices (including BYOD (bring your own device)) that are within the scope of certification.
This technical audit is usually conducted remotely.
For on-site audits, the number of locations to be tested depends on whether all the different builds can be tested in one location. One location refers to one physical office/site, or all devices/machines selected for testing being on the same network.
IT Governance is one of the founding Cyber Essentials certification bodies and remains one of the largest in the UK. We have issued more than 7,000 certifications worldwide and our broad range of fixed-price services has helped thousands of organisations achieve baseline cyber security.
