Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed questionnaire. Plus adds an independent technical audit where an assessor tests your devices and controls. Plus carries more weight with clients and insurers because it is independently verified.
How long does it take to get ready?
It depends on the gaps. Small, well-run environments can be ready in a few weeks; environments with older systems or no MFA take longer. The gap assessment gives you a realistic timeline early on.
Do you issue the certification yourselves?
No — certification is issued through licensed certification bodies. We prepare your environment, fix the gaps, and support you through the assessment so you pass first time.
Is Cyber Essentials worth it for a small business?
Often, yes. It is increasingly required for public sector and larger-client contracts, it can reduce cyber insurance friction, and the controls themselves meaningfully cut your real-world risk.
