A useful security baseline
More than a badge for the website footer.
Cyber Essentials is designed around common attacks that exploit avoidable weaknesses. We use the process to make security ownership clearer and build controls your organisation can keep maintaining after certification.
Meet customer requirements
Support tenders, supply-chain expectations and conversations with security-conscious customers.
Create a maintainable baseline
Leave with controls, responsibilities and evidence your team can understand and repeat.
The five technical controls
Every requirement, made clear.
We translate the assessment language into real technical actions across your current environment.
Firewalls
Control the boundary between your systems and untrusted networks.
Secure configuration
Remove unnecessary access, software and insecure default settings.
User access control
Give people the access they need without leaving privilege unmanaged.
Malware protection
Use appropriate controls to stop malicious code from running.
Security updates
Keep supported software patched within the required timescales.
