Cyber Essentials certification from start to finish

Cyber Essentials is the certification most tenders and insurers now ask for. Most small businesses fail it first time on the same handful of things: unsupported software, missing patches, admin accounts used for everyday work, and firewall rules nobody has looked at in years.

I take you through the whole thing. We work out what is genuinely in scope, fix what would fail before it fails, complete the self-assessment together, and get you certified. If you need Cyber Essentials Plus after that, it includes preparing for the technical audit.

You end up with the certificate, and with a clear picture of what is actually running on your network, which is usually the more useful half.

Suited to businesses of 1 to 100 people. Remote across the UK, or in person in Lancashire and the North West. Typically three to four weeks from start to certificate, depending how much needs fixing. The price above is my time. The certification body charges its own assessment fee on top.
