Get Certified. Stay Certified. Done Right.
The Reality
Many businesses fail Cyber Essentials because their submission is incomplete or incorrect. Others get certified but let compliance drift until renewal panic sets in. We handle the entire process: audit, remediation, submission, certification. Then we keep you compliant year-round.
Before you ever submit, one of our specialists reviews your entire application, corrects gaps, and confirms everything is accurate. We don't submit until it's right.
What You Get
1. Readiness and Gap Audit
We assess your environment across all five Cyber Essentials control areas: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, anti-malware, and system maintenance. You get a prioritised action list showing exactly what needs fixing.
2. Remediation and Hardening
We close all gaps, working with you or your existing IT provider. Firewall configuration, secure device setup, MFA enforcement, anti-malware deployment, patch and update processes, removal of risky or outdated services.
3. Pre-Submission Review
Once remediation is complete, our specialist reviews your full submission including screenshots, evidence, and control confirmations. Anything that could cause rejection gets corrected before it's sent.
4. Certification
We submit on your behalf, guide you through the official assessment, and ensure you receive your certificate and badge.
5. Ongoing Compliance
After certification we stay with you. Quarterly reviews of your controls, alerts if anything falls out of compliance, remediation support when your environment changes, and renewal readiness well before your expiry date.
How It Works
Week 1: Discovery. Complete review of your devices, users, cloud services, and access controls.
Weeks 2-3: Remediation. We resolve all issues related to configuration, MFA, patching, anti-malware, and firewall controls.
Weeks 3-4: Review and submission. Your submission is reviewed by our specialist and submitted to the certification body.
Month 1 onward: Continuous care. Controls are monitored, reviewed, and maintained so you stay compliant all year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you guarantee we'll pass? We guarantee your submission is complete and accurate before it goes in, and we fix what the assessment finds before it is submitted rather than after.
What size business is this for? Any size. The process scales from small teams to larger organisations.
Can you work with our existing IT provider? Yes. They manage your infrastructure, we ensure compliance.
What if we change our systems after certification? The ongoing compliance package covers this. We detect drift, review changes, and keep you aligned with the standard.
Is Cyber Essentials Plus better than Cyber Essentials? CE Plus includes external testing and is a higher assurance level. If your contracts require it, or you want stronger validation, we guide you through it.
