Your biggest customers, your insurer and every public tender are starting to ask for Cyber Essentials. We prepare and manage the whole thing for you — and guarantee a pass. You spend about twenty minutes; we do the rest.
Cyber Essentials checks five practical things about how your business runs its computers. Most owner-managed businesses are closer than they think — usually two or three small fixes away.
Your router and devices block traffic they shouldn't let in.
Unused accounts and software removed; devices lock themselves.
People have only the access they need, with two-step login on.
Protection running on every device against viruses and bad software.
Security updates applied quickly — within 14 days of release.
You spend around twenty minutes telling us how your business works. We prepare the full submission, check every answer against the standard, fix anything that would fail, and manage it through to your certificate. When your insurer or a tender asks, you've already got the badge.
And because the certificate renews every year, we handle the renewal too — so you never lose it at the moment a contract depends on it.
If your prepared submission doesn't pass, we fix what's needed and resubmit at no extra charge. We only take on work we're confident we can get across the line — which is exactly why the free readiness check comes first.
Since April 2026, two things fail a Cyber Essentials submission outright — no matter how good everything else is. A cloud service (email, Microsoft, Google, accounting, banking) left without two-step login. And security updates not applied within 14 days. Our readiness check flags both before they cost you the certificate.
