Our Approach to Cyber Essentials Certification
As certified Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) practitioners ourselves, we guide Norfolk businesses through the Cyber Essentials process with clarity and efficiency.
Whether you’re looking to attain basic certification via the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) or go the extra mile and achieve CE+, we’ll show you how to implement the security standards needed to prevent common attacks.
Practical Cyber Security Framework Implementation
We translate Cyber Essentials requirements into clear, actionable steps tailored to your specific business environment, focusing on genuine protection rather than just ticking compliance boxes.
Comprehensive Security Assessment
We begin by evaluating your current security posture against the Cyber Essentials standard. This provides a clear picture of your strengths, vulnerabilities, and priorities for remediation.
Guided Remediation Support
We address identified gaps with pragmatic solutions, handling technical implementations while providing clear explanations of changes.
Certification Documentation and Submission
We prepare and manage all documentation required for your Cyber Essentials submission. Ensuring it accurately represents your security controls helps you avoid common pitfalls that delay approval.
Making Cyber Essentials Certification for Small Businesses Simple
When applying for government contracts or cyber insurance, businesses in regulated sectors are increasingly being asked “Do you have Cyber Essentials?”.
It’s is a government-backed, nationally-recognised scheme designed to help businesses stay safe from common cyber threats. But navigating even ‘accessible’ cyber security frameworks like this can feel overwhelming when you’re primarily focused on serving clients.
Confused About Your Compliance Status?
Without clear benchmarks, it’s difficult to assess your existing protections or identify critical gaps.
Need a Terminology Translator?
Converting abstract requirements into practical, proportionate steps requires expertise most professional services firms don’t have in-house.
Battling Resource Constraints?
Your team already have full workloads serving clients, with limited capacity to take on complex compliance projects.
Don’t Want Added Disruptions?
Implementing controls that safeguard your data while maintaining productivity requires thoughtful design and configuration.
