Cyber Essentials Plus

We’ll help you demonstrate your focus on cyber security with a Cyber Essentials Plus certification

Secure your business

Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective government-backed scheme. It is designed to help protect your organisation against the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials Plus provides a more rigorous auditing process than the basic Cyber Essentials certification. It further protects against phishing, hacking and other types of malware. CE+ requires system tests to be carried out by an external body.

If you're looking to obtain Cyber Essentials Plus compliance for your business, Netitude can perform a CE+ gap analysis to highlight which areas you need to work on to pass the certification. We can also do the remedial work to get you up to spec. If you're interested in learning more about this service, book a call today!

The certification process requires both an internal and external vulnerability scan, plus an on-site assessment to verify your cyber security position.

Your business must demonstrate the required level of protection in the 5 key security controls:

  • Secure your devices and software.
  • Secure your Internet connection.
  • Control access to your data and services.
  • Keep your devices and software up to date.
  • Protect from viruses and other malware.

The benefits of having a Cyber Essentials Plus certification

In the current cyber threat landscape, you cannot afford to take a backseat to your cyber security posture. Acquiring your certification showcases that you take the security of both your and your clients’ and partners’ data seriously. Cyber Essentials Plus still includes all of the elements of the regular Cyber Essentials certification but includes an extra layer of conducting a technical review to verify your commitment to your cyber security.

What our clients say

“The initial audit was fantastic. It really gave us an understanding of where we were and took away the fear of the lack of knowledge. The broken-down recommendations really helped us understand the priority areas that needed attention, also helped me explain to my colleagues when it came to costs. Netitude have really helped us move forward as a business, initially we thought we just needed someone to ‘fix’ things, but we have moved on further than I ever imagined.”
