Does my business need Cyber Essentials?

Although not often a strict requirement, it's strongly advised that you undertake the certification to help demonstrate strong data security policies and help establish confidence in customers.

How much does it cost?

The accreditation costs £300 (+VAT) with an additional charge for our time to help you prepare your business and ensure all devices are brought to compliance to ensure you pass quickly and hassle-free.

Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus

Both accreditations require you to undergo the same policy implementations. The Plus version requires additional third-party verification to ensure all policies have indeed been put into effect. Whereas the standard Cyber Essentials version is a self-assessment only.
