Compliance support that helps you prove the basics are under control
Cyber Essentials, insurance requirements and customer questionnaires are getting harder to answer. We help you understand what is required, where the gaps are and how to fix them sensibly.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK scheme focused on core technical controls that help protect against common cyber attacks. It can support tender requirements, insurance conversations and customer trust.
It is important to be honest: Cyber Essentials is not a complete security programme by itself. It is a useful baseline, not the finish line.
Common gaps
- Weak MFA or admin account control.
- Unclear patching processes.
- Devices not properly managed.
- Firewall and access rules not documented.
- Leaver accounts still active.
How we support compliance work
Readiness review
We review your current setup against the controls you need to satisfy.
Remediation
We help fix practical issues in Microsoft 365, devices, access, patching and documentation.
Evidence
We help gather the information needed for submission or internal assurance.
Ongoing improvement
We keep controls alive so compliance does not become a once-a-year scramble.
What affects cost?
The cost depends on your current maturity, number of users and devices, Microsoft 365 setup, documentation quality and how much remediation is needed before you can confidently answer the assessment questions.
Is Cyber Essentials suitable for every business?
It is useful for many UK businesses, especially those handling customer data or bidding for work. The right timing depends on your risk and commercial needs.
Can you guarantee certification?
No responsible provider should guarantee certification before reviewing your environment. We can help identify and fix gaps so you are better prepared.
