Frequently asked questions

Cyber Essentials is a UK government backed certification designed to help businesses protect themselves against common cyber threats. It focuses on practical security controls such as secure devices, strong passwords, access control, malware protection and keeping software up to date.

You may need Cyber Essentials if your business handles sensitive data, works with larger organisations, wants to improve cyber security, or needs certification for contracts and tenders. Even if it is not required, it is a useful way to prove your business takes security seriously.

No. Small businesses are often targeted because attackers know they may not have the same level of protection as larger organisations. Many cyber attacks are automated, meaning criminals are not always choosing businesses manually. If your business uses email, stores data, or takes payments, it is worth protecting.

The cost depends on the size of your business and the level of support you need. There is an official certification fee, but many businesses also need help reviewing their setup, fixing any issues, and preparing for the assessment. We can help you understand the full cost before you start.

The first step is to review your current security setup. This usually includes checking your devices, software updates, passwords, user access, firewalls and malware protection. From there, any gaps can be fixed before submitting your Cyber Essentials assessment.

To achieve certification, your business needs to meet the required Cyber Essentials controls and complete the official assessment. We can guide you through the process, help identify any areas that need improvement, and support you through to final certification.
