Achieving Cyber Essentials certification isn’t just a checkbox exercise, it’s a strategic investment in your business's future. Whether you're strengthening your security posture, meeting regulatory requirements, or enhancing trust with customers and partners, we are your go-to cyber security partner.

We don’t just help you get certified; we empower your business to stay secure, resilient, and future-proofed.

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials PLUS (CE+) are powerful frameworks for defending against common cyber threats, but implementation requires more than ticking boxes. We deliver end-to-end cyber security guidance that goes beyond the standard.

From initial scoping to audit readiness, our experts take the complexity out of the process. Whether you're a small business or an enterprise with multiple sites, we tailor our approach to your environment, ensuring full alignment with NCSC and IASME standards.

What makes us different? 

We’re not just a service provider; we’re a trusted technology partner with over two decades of experience protecting UK organisations across every sector. 

  • Dedicated cyber experts: our in-house team knows the CE framework inside out. We break down the technical jargon and help you implement practical solutions that work for your business.

  • Proven methodology: with a high success rate for CE and CE+ certifications, we deliver a clear, actionable roadmap and support you at every milestone. 
  • Tailored, sector-specific guidance: no two businesses are the same. We customise our guidance to your unique risks, regulatory landscape, and technical environment. 

Cyber Essentials workshops: be assessment-ready 

Our interactive Cyber Essentials Workshop is built for success. We help you identify the right scope, walk you through the self-assessment questionnaire, and conduct a high-level review of your responses. 

You’ll get: 

  • Gap analysis with prioritised remediation guidance. 
  • Clarification of complex requirements. 
  • Hands-on support to strengthen your submission. 
  • Full review, verification, and final certification (subject to criteria). 
  • It’s everything you need to confidently pass your CE or CE+ audit — with none of the guesswork. 

It doesn’t end with certification… 

Security threats evolve and so should your defences. That’s why we offer ongoing cyber support beyond certification. Our partnership is built to grow with your needs, delivering: 

  • Continuous compliance monitoring. 
  • Regular updates and audits. 
  • Penetration testing & vulnerability assessments. 
  • Expert guidance on new security standards. 
  • Managed Detection and Response (MDR). 

Because your business doesn’t stand still — and neither should your cyber security.
