Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme to help strengthen the cybersecurity of all UK SMEs through a certification system that checks a number of possible security flaws in your systems & practices. We can perform the accreditation checks for Cyber Essentials, but we also offer a Plus service where we check above and beyond the essentials to ensure your organisation is future-proof when it comes to cyber threats.
Our Cyber Essentials Plus service isn’t just to tick the boxes of regulators, but to provide real peace of mind to your customers, shareholders, and stakeholders – assurance that your organisation takes digital security seriously.

Cyber Essentials Plus can increase your opportunities
Having a Cyber Essentials certification allows you to bid on UK Government contracts that involve the handling of confidential data. It can also improve your opportunities of working within the private sector through increasing trust in your ability to handle data safely.
In fact, since some Private & Government contracts actually require Cyber Essentials certification, you’ll never miss out on opportunities.
Cyber Essentials Plus makes you alert
Repelling common cyber attacks is a routine process but their sheer number makes it particularly dangerous.
Even a single success for cybercriminals can be devastating for your organisation’s safety and integrity in the eyes of those who rely on your services. That’s why it is important to defend against every malware or social engineering threat.
By partnering with a cyber consulting expert, your business can swiftly move towards increased alertness with services like cybersecurity penetration testing and cyber threat intelligence. Contact us >
Cyber Essentials Plus can save you money
Not only are the benefits significant in terms of winning new business opportunities, but things like insurance can be heavily discounted with Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. After all, the insurers can be sure that you’re serious about keeping data safe. Contact us >
