Cyber Essentials Plus Certification

Cyber Essentials Plus certification demonstrates to your customer’s and interested parties that your organisation has been assessed against a recognised, UK government-backed cyber security standard.

Building on the underlying requirements of Cyber Essentials, a Cyber Essentials Plus assessment includes an active assessment from our IASME accredited consultancy team. During your Cyber Essentials Plus assessment, the following activities are conducted against users and systems in your organisation to provide assurance that your organisation has implemented the requirements of the Cyber Essentials scheme:

• External Vulnerability Assessment
• Endpoint Patching Assessment
• Administrator Account Segregation
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• Anti-Virus Configuration Review
• Email-Based Malware Assessment
• Web-Based Malware Assessment

When the Cyber Essentials Plus assessment takes place, our consultancy team will provide regular feedback and pragmatic advice to ensure you understand any security weaknesses that may prevent your organisation from passing the assessment. If the CE+ assessment is successful, your organisation will be awarded Cyber Essentials Plus certification which remains valid for 12 months.

If for whatever reason your organisation is unsuccessful in passing your Cyber Essentials Plus assessment, we offer a discounted Cyber Essentials Plus Retest service, to give you chance to take onboard the assessors feedback, apply the necessary remediation actions and then book a retest shortly after.

PLEASE NOTE: It is an IASME requirement that all organisations wishing to certify against Cyber Essentials Plus, have already completed Cyber Essentials Certification within the past 3 months. If your organisation has not passed Cyber Essentials in the past 3 months, you will need to complete a new Cyber Essentials assessment before proceeding with Cyber Essentials Plus.
