Our Cyber Essentials Plus certification services help UK organisations achieve the highest level of assurance under the UK government-backed cybersecurity scheme, administered by IASME on behalf of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
We guide you through the complete Cyber Essentials Plus journey—starting with the verified self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), board-signed attestation, and independent technical audit conducted by an IASME-licensed Certification Body—to ensure all five core technical controls are not just documented but actively enforced and technically proven: Firewalls with properly configured boundary protection and rule management, Secure Configuration hardening every device to minimise attack surfaces, Security Update Management with the mandatory 14-day patching window for vulnerability fixes, User Access Control with documented account creation processes, separated admin and standard accounts, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cloud services, and Malware Protection with verified anti-malware configurations capable of blocking malicious files.
Our assessors test a representative sample of your infrastructure—covering servers, desktops, laptops, thin clients, tablets, and mobile phones across every operating system in scope—performing vulnerability scanning, configuration checks, and live system verification against the NCSC test specification (currently v3.3 "Danzell"), ensuring you meet the 2026 requirements for real technical evidence, cloud and identity scope compliance, and mandatory control enforcement.
Whether you are a micro organisation (1–9 employees), small (10–49), medium (50–249), or large enterprise (250+), preparing for Ministry of Defence supply chain entry through Defence Cyber Certification (DCC), satisfying public sector procurement requirements, or simply demonstrating cyber resilience to customers and stakeholders, we help you achieve annual certification, maintain your certificate through prompt recertification, and satisfy IASME Supplier Check verifications with confidence.
