Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme, overseen by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It shows your business has the core controls in place to defend against the most common cyber attacks. Increasingly, clients and contracts ask for it before they'll work with you.

Protecting the boundary between your network and the internet, on both office and remote devices.
Removing unnecessary features, changing default passwords, and locking down settings to reduce weaknesses.
Making sure people only have access to what they need, with multi-factor authentication on all internet-facing accounts.
Defending your devices against viruses, ransomware, and other malicious software.
Keeping software supported and up to date, with critical security updates applied within 14 days.
I'll review your current setup against the certification requirements, so you know exactly where you stand.
I'll identify any gaps that would stop you passing, explained clearly without the technical jargon.
From MFA and access controls to secure configuration and patching, I'll help you put the right measures in place.
I'll support you through the assessment so you pass first time, with the certificate issued via an accredited body I help coordinate.
Not sure whether you're ready? My free Cyber Security Health Check is the ideal first step - it shows you where you stand and highlights anything to address before certification. From there, getting Cyber Essentials-ready is a straightforward, well-supported process.
