Cyber Essentials certification
Cyber Essentials help for small businesses
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed certificate that shows your business has the basic security controls in place. More customers and contracts now ask for it. We get you ready, fix what would fail and guide you through the assessment.
From £795. Assessment fee paid separately.
What Cyber Essentials checks
The assessment covers five areas. We check each one against your setup before you apply.

Secure settings
Default passwords changed and unneeded software removed.

Every device protected against viruses and harmful software.
