How long does Cyber Essentials last?

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certificates are each valid for one year. This is to ensure that organisations continue to meet the requirements and are active in keeping their infrastructure updated and secure.

How do I obtain Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials can be obtained by getting in touch with Certification Bodies, appointed by the scheme operator IASME. There are two stages: first a self-assessment questionnaire assessed by a qualified assessor, followed by an audit where an independent assessor checks the controls are effective.

Is Cyber Essentials mandatory?

The UK government does make Cyber Essentials mandatory through the supply chain for all government contracts, and many British businesses require their suppliers to conform with the standard.

Is Cyber Essentials worth it?

Cyber Essentials is designed to demonstrate that an organisation meets a baseline for cybersecurity. It is useful for small and medium sized organisations to improve their security, and in some cases is mandatory to bid for government contracts.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme designed for small and medium sized enterprises to demonstrate they meet a cybersecurity baseline. Cyber Essentials Plus expands this through an independent audit of the network infrastructure.
