This service will help you achieve IASME-licensed Cyber Essentials Plus certification with a lot of help from us. It is conducted online and includes:
The Get A Lot Of Help package will give you a good chance of achieving IASME-accredited Cyber Essentials Plus certification at the first attempt. It is designed for organisations with little or no knowledge of the five controls and testing conditions, as well as those that do not know their scope or the IP range that should be tested.
We also recommend this solution for large organisations with complex organisational structures.
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 full day of consultancy support is designed to help you achieve certification, and can be conducted on-site or remotely.
It will review your security posture in advance, helping you with various aspects of certification-readiness, including defining the scope of the certification, reviewing and setting the IP testing range, and supporting efforts to implement the five controls.
This service is ideal for organisations with more complex infrastructures, as well as those with little knowledge of information security and the five controls. It is also suitable for large organisations with complex structures, although we suggest they start with a Cyber Essentials Plus Health Check.
Your bundle will also include the following:
“Really pleased with the support offered by Matthew and the team. Straightforward advice on how to complete the form and pragmatic ways to comply with the requirements. We have been discussing getting Cyber Essentials certification since 2017 but have always put it off, being daunted by the process and speaking to IT consultants who made it sound too complicated. Working with you made the process manageable, straightforward and stress-free. Thank you for all your help!”

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 in use by the organisation 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.
