Cyber Essentials Plus

Show your clients that your business is secured against the most prevalent cyber threats.

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is a technical assessment of your organisation by an approved third party. It can only take place alongside, or after a successful Cyber Essentials Basic audit and shows that your organisation is operating securely.

Cyber Essentials Plus is the higher of two levels of certification.

What Does The audit Include?

Organisations can achieve a Cyber Essentials Plus certificate by having a third party, such as ourselves, perform a comprehensive cyber security audit against the business.

Internal Vulnerability Scan

A comprehensive vulnerability scan is conducted to identify weaknesses or potential vulnerabilities in your systems.

Identified issues can then be addressed promptly through remediation strategies such as software updates, patches, or security enhancements.

External Vulnerability Scan

A full external vulnerability scan is performed against your organisation’s publicly facing infrastructure. This identifies any vulnerabilities that a remote attacker may be able to exploit.

Endpoint Security Tests

All devices in scope are tested against their resiliency to common forms of malware. Various configurations are checked from initial download controls to execution policies and anti-malware solutions.

Authentication & Cloud Security

Multi factor authentication is a key security control that can help prevent your organisation from being compromised.

All cloud environments will be assessed to ensure that MFA is enabled where possible.

Authorisation & Access Controls

We will assess your organisation to ensure that users have not been given excessive permissions over what they need to conduct their day to day activities.

We will assess permissions on the sample devices as well as any cloud environments that your organisation uses.
