“Really pleased with the support offered by Matthew and the team. Straightforward advice on how to complete the form and pragmatic ways to comply with the requirements. We have been discussing getting Cyber Essentials certification since 2017 but have always put it off, being daunted by the process and speaking to IT consultants who made it sound too complicated. Working with you made the process manageable, straightforward and stress-free. Thank you for all your help!”

- Tom Lamb, A Lamb Associates Limited

 

“Our consultant, Terry Norton, was professional throughout and clearly had a very good knowledge of the standard and the testing, being able to help our IT Administrator ensure the relevant audit tools were installed correctly.

Benefits

Benefits of Cyber Essentials Plus certification

Work with the best

IT Governance is one of the founding Cyber Essentials certification bodies and remains one of the largest in the UK. We have issued more than 6,600 certifications worldwide, and our broad range of fixed-price services has helped thousands of organisations achieve baseline cyber security.

Work with the UK government and MoD

Cyber Essentials Plus will allow you to work with the UK government and MOD.

Reduce cyber insurance premiums

Cyber insurance agencies look more favourably on organisations that have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.

Secure the supply chain

The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) recommends Cyber Essentials as “A good starting point” for the cyber security of the IT you rely on to hold and process personal data.

Secure more business

Cyber Essentials certification is required to bid for central government contracts that involve handling sensitive and personal information or the provision of certain technical products and services.

Conditions

Conditions

Cyber Essentials Plus involves a technical audit of the systems that are in scope for Cyber Essentials. This includes a representative set of workstations, mobile devices, internally hosted servers, and build types used by the organisation’s end users to complete their day-to-day duties. The number of builds is defined by the number of configurations of operating systems and software suites installed. If more than one browser or Office suite is used, each variant will need to be tested. If they are installed on the same build, this is acceptable.

  • This package includes a Cyber Essentials Plus audit at one location, of one type of user account, on up to ten sample devices. One location refers to one physical office/site, or all devices/machines selected for testing being on the same network. Additional workstations, mobile devices, server devices and build types may need to be tested to meet the sampling requirements of the scheme. If you require more than ten end-user workstations or server devices to be tested, you will need to purchase Cyber Essentials Plus Certification – Additional Device Testing. This testing will be conducted remotely in most instances.
  • If you fail any of the Cyber Essentials Plus testing performed as part of the overall engagement, we will provide details of further tests required. Cyber Essentials Plus final reports must be completed no more than 30 days after the start date of the first scans. Any remediation work and required retesting must be completed with sufficient time for QA and generation of the report and certificate within this time frame. These tests will be billed separately.
  • The package includes an external vulnerability scan for up to 16 IP addresses. If you have more than 16 IP addresses, you will need to purchase additional IP packages in packs of 16. If you fail your external scan, a rescan will need to be purchased, plus any additional IP packages that you need to cover the failing IP addresses if you have more than 16 IP addresses.
  • If you ask that testing is undertaken at your business location, additional expenses will be charged to accommodate our consultant’s travel time and costs for the on-site assessment. These will be billed separately.
  • Cyber Essentials certification: if you are not successful on your first submission for Cyber Essentials, you have two working days to submit a further attempt for certification. If you are not successful on your second submission, you will need to reapply at the cost of a new application.
  • If your Cyber Essentials Plus application is not fully completed within three months of the date of your Cyber Essentials certificate, you will need to repeat your Cyber Essentials certification at full cost.
  • If your Cyber Essentials Plus application is unsuccessful, your Cyber Essentials certification may be revoked.

This Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus package includes the cost of your Cyber Essentials certification, as set out by IASME. Additional charges are for additional services delivered.

Please ensure you select the correct package for your organisation size. Prices quoted are available for purchase online through the website only. Any purchases processed offline through our sales teams will be subject to a £50 administration fee.

Pre-test requirements

  • All user devices are subject to testing and will be agreed upon before the testing date, including workstations, server devices within scope, mobile and BYOD (bring your own device), and must be available for testing on the agreed date/during the engagement.
  • All devices within the scope of testing must be in use user devices and cannot be built specifically for testing.
  • A genuine local user account with username and password must be available for each user in scope.
  • Devices must have Internet access, allow emails from our test domain and be accessible by our test web server (https://ces.itgovernance.co.uk).
  • You must provide details of a user email account per user being assessed.
  • Workstation builds and server devices must be configured to allow an authenticated vulnerability scan that will determine patch and version numbers of installed software, and you must provide or enter details of the administrative user account to be used.
  • Remote registry must be enabled on the workstation builds and server devices, and no global policies that block the authenticated vulnerability scan are permitted.

The assessors were brilliant, really helpful and extremely well versed in cyber security. They provided some great information on things we could be doing better and gave us some things we should be aware of that will be part of the testing next year. A great bunch of people to spend 5 hours on a Teams call with!

I have just completed our Cyber Essentials Plus remote internal test with George Rees and I just wanted to say what an asset George is. He has been very attentive throughout the process, from completing the online questionnaire right through to finally finishing all the testing today. The outcome for us has been a good one but that aside he has made this otherwise complicated process very simple and stress free. Having used your services in the past I was happy to sign up again for renewal and will again. I am very happy with the whole process and would not hesitate to recommend to other IT professionals.

ICONICS required Cyber Essentials Plus as it was a requirement for the work we do with UK Government departments. It provides validation that the security measures that we have put in place to look after our customer’s data is effective and robust. The process of certification through IT Governance was straight-forward with really helpful contacts right from initial consultation with Zak Rush through to the final certification. The process was completed quickly and very cost effectively and we had great help from Alex Drabek, our on-site auditor. The CyberComply website makes filling in and tracking the process simple.
