What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is for all organisations, whatever sector you’re in. Implementing these controls will help your organisation defend against the most common forms of cyber-attack.
Additionally, If you intend to apply for government contracts, achieving a Cyber Essentials Certification is often a mandatory requirement.
The Scheme itself focuses on Internet-originated attacks against an organisation’s IT system, based on five key security controls.
Boundary firewalls and internet gateways – these provide a basic level of protection where a user connects to the Internet. A firewall will help to keep attackers or external threats from getting access to your system.
Secure configuration –systems need to be configured to ensure that the current design and build state of the system is known, good & trusted.
Access control – it is important that only the appropriate personnel have access to systems and at the appropriate level.
Malware protection – this doesn’t just protect you against viruses, worms and key loggers, but also nuisance programs. It is important that virus and malware protection is installed and is kept up to date.
Patch management – managing upgrades for software applications and technologies. A patch management plan can help you handle changes efficiently, ensuring the latest supported version of applications is used and all the necessary patches supplied by the vendor been applied.
By choosing us to assist you with implementing the appropriate cyber security controls, you will benefit from support and advice throughout the process, an internal assessment of your cyber security processes and an onsite technical vulnerability scan of your devices.
When implemented correctly, the Cyber Essential Plus scheme will help you to improve business efficiency, save money and increase productivity.

How have businesses benefited from Cyber Essentials Plus?
One and a half days auditing resulted in attaining the 2015 standards for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and moving to the new health and safety standard ISO 45001. The auditor was helpful friendly and very professional.I have an apprentice who is learning my job so that he can take over when I eventually retire. [The Auditor] explained everything to him, what he was looking for and why and nothing seemed too much trouble.I will be requesting that we can have [him] again to undertake our audits next year as everything went very smoothly and we will definitely be recommending QMS to others based on this experience.
