Achieve Cyber Essentials Plus certification with a lot of help from one of the founding Cyber Essentials certification bodies, which remains one of the largest in the UK.
Cyber Essentials self-assessment questions can be difficult to understand if you do not have a technical IT background. This service provides a day of one-to-one consultancy support for the first year of your subscription and is ideal for organisations with a more complex company structure. This additional support can be delivered remotely or in person at your business, and is designed to help you understand the scheme’s requirements and how to implement the five controls, define your scope, and understand and complete the SAQ.
We recommend large organisations with complex structures start with a Cyber Essentials Plus Health Check.
Our Cyber Essentials services have an excellent NPS (Net Promoter Score) of +68.
Our Get A Lot Of Help package will give you a better chance of achieving IASME-licensed Cyber Essentials Plus certification at the first attempt. It has been created for organisations with little or no experience of implementing the Cyber Essentials scheme’s five controls, or those that need a lot of assistance completing the SAQ.
It is also suitable for larger organisations with complex organisational structures.
“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!”
- Tom Lamb, A Lamb Associates Limited
“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.”

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 6,000 certifications worldwide and our broad range of fixed-price services has helped thousands of organisations achieve baseline cyber security.
The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), the UK’s data protection regulator, recommends Cyber Essentials as a “good starting point” for the cyber security of the IT you rely on to hold and process personal data.
Boost your reputation and attract new business by assuring customers you take cyber security seriously and have cyber security measures in place.
Cyber Essentials Plus gives you the opportunity to work with the UK government and MOD.
Cyber Essentials certificates issued in the previous 12 months are listed on the NCSC website, showing suppliers your commitment to protecting your and your customers’ data.
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, server devices offering user access to an interactive desktop environment, 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 systems 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.
All of our Cyber Essentials (and Cyber Essentials Plus) packages include the cost of Cyber Essentials certification, as set out by IASME. Any additional charges above the cost of Cyber Essentials certificate are for consultancy services. The level of consultancy services delivered will vary based on organisation size.
| Size of organisation | Cost of certificate |
|---|---|
| Micro (0–9 employees) | €360 + VAT |
| Small (10–49 employees) | €480 + VAT |
| Medium (50-249 employees) | €540 + VAT |
| Large (250+ employees) | €600 + VAT |
