We understand the critical importance of cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes. That’s why we offer comprehensive Cyber Essentials services designed to assist organisations in achieving Cyber Essentials certification—an essential step towards enhancing their cybersecurity posture and protecting against common cyber threats.

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme in the UK designed to help businesses demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity best practices. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification not only helps organizations secure their systems and data but also provides assurance to customers, partners, and stakeholders that they take cybersecurity seriously.

Our Cyber Essentials services include:

1. Pre-Assessment Consultation:
   We begin by conducting a pre-assessment consultation to understand your organisation’s current cybersecurity posture, infrastructure, and specific requirements. This allows us to tailor our services to address your unique needs and objectives.
2. Gap Analysis:
   Our cybersecurity experts conduct a comprehensive gap analysis to identify areas where your organisation may fall short of Cyber Essentials requirements. This assessment includes an evaluation of your organisation’s security controls, policies, and procedures against the Cyber Essentials framework.
3. Remediation Guidance:
   Based on the results of the gap analysis, we provide detailed remediation guidance to help your organisation address identified weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This may involve implementing specific security controls, policies, or technical measures to align with Cyber Essentials requirements.
4. Technical Assistance:
   We offer technical assistance and support throughout the certification process, including assistance with implementing required security controls and configuring IT systems to meet Cyber Essentials standards. Our team of cybersecurity experts is available to address any technical challenges and provide guidance on best practices.
5. Documentation Support:
   We assist your organisation in preparing the necessary documentation and evidence required for Cyber Essentials certification. This may include documenting security policies, procedures, and technical configurations to demonstrate compliance with Cyber Essentials requirements.
6. Certification Preparation:
   We guide your organisation through the certification process, providing support with completing the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questionnaire and submitting the necessary documentation to the certification body. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and successful certification process for your organisation.
7. Post-Certification Support:
   Our support doesn’t end after certification. We provide ongoing support and guidance to help your organization maintain Cyber Essentials compliance and continually improve its cybersecurity posture. This may include periodic reviews, updates to security controls, and assistance with addressing new threats and vulnerabilities.
