Cyber Essentials is increasingly required for tenders, insurance and grant applications — and it has to be renewed every year. I get you ready, fix what's needed, and guide you through certification, then keep you compliant year to year.
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed baseline for cyber security. More and more tenders won't shortlist without it, insurers ask about it at renewal, and funders increasingly require it on grant applications — especially for charities. It's also, genuinely, a sensible checklist: the five controls it covers stop the attacks that actually hit small organisations.
Where you stand against the five controls, in plain English. You'll get a straight list of what passes, what doesn't, and what it'll take.
I fix what's needed — MFA, patching, access controls, firewall settings. For most small organisations it's configuration, not new hardware.
I guide you through the assessment and handle the technical answers. The certificate itself is issued by an IASME-licensed Certification Body.
Certification lapses after a year. I keep your setup compliant in between, so renewal is routine rather than a scramble.
I don't issue the certificate — no IT support company does. Cyber Essentials is assessed and awarded by IASME-licensed Certification Bodies, and nobody can honestly promise you a guaranteed pass. What I can do is make sure nothing on the assessment is a surprise: by the time you submit, the gaps have already been found and fixed, so you already know you meet the requirements.
