What's included

The five Cyber Essentials controls, properly put in place.

We work through all five Cyber Essentials controls across your devices, accounts, cloud services and network, then get you ready for assessment.

Firewalls icon

Firewalls

We review routers, firewalls and device settings, close unnecessary access and make sure connections to the internet are properly controlled.

Configuration icon

Secure configuration

Default accounts, unnecessary software and risky settings can all create openings. We tighten things up across the devices and services in scope.

Updates icon

Security updates

We check your software is supported, enable automatic updates where possible and make sure important security fixes are being installed on time.

Access icon

User access control

People should have the access they need, and no more. We review user accounts, administrator access, permissions and how people sign in.

Malware icon

Malware protection

We check the protections on your devices are properly configured to help stop malicious software before it becomes a business problem.

Certification options

Cyber Essentials or Plus. We help with both.

Both cover the same five controls. Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment, while Plus adds independent technical testing.

Baseline certification

Cyber Essentials

A recognised cyber security certification based on an independently verified self-assessment. We review your setup, fix the gaps and help you complete the assessment accurately.

Higher assurance

Cyber Essentials Plus

Everything in Cyber Essentials, plus an independent technical audit of your systems by a qualified assessor. We prepare your environment for the audit, fix issues beforehand and help with any remediation needed.

Don't just take our word for it.

How we work

We don’t just identify the gaps, we help put them right.

A checklist is easy. Getting the controls working across real laptops, old software, Microsoft 365, home workers and third-party access is the bit that takes time. That’s where we help.

  • Start with the real setup. We work out what is in scope, what already meets the standard and what needs changing before we touch anything.
  • Make the fixes with you. Accounts, updates, firewalls, device settings and cloud security are tightened up properly, not just written into a report.
  • Leave it maintainable. We explain what changed, what needs checking and what to keep on top of so next year’s renewal is quick and easy.
