(03) Questions
Fair questions.
What is Cyber Essentials?
A UK government-backed scheme that certifies you have five core controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security updates. More and more customers, especially in the public sector, ask for it.
What's the difference with Cyber Essentials Plus?
Plus adds hands-on technical testing by an independent assessor, not just a self-assessment. Both are fixed price, so you know the cost before we start, and we'll tell you honestly whether you need Plus.
Can you help with our cyber insurance?
Yes. Insurers ask increasingly detailed questions. We help you answer them accurately and close any gaps first, so a claim isn't refused on a technicality.
Will securing things disrupt our work?
No. Changes are planned and rolled out in stages, mostly out of hours, and we tell people what's changing before it does.
