Assessment Only: We'll submit your questionnaire for certification.

Review & Submit: We will review your certification and advise on the changes you need to make before submitting for a guaranteed pass.

Fully Managed: We'll work with you from the ground up to ensure you're ready to assess against Cyber Essentials and we'll be there every step of the way.

Why Cyber Essentials Matters

More Than Ever

Cyber threats continue to evolve, and attackers increasingly target small and mid-sized businesses. Cyber Essentials is no longer just a “nice to have” - it’s a recognised baseline that demonstrates your organisation takes cyber security seriously.

Achieving certification shows clients, partners and insurers that you have essential technical controls in place to reduce risk and protect sensitive data. Here's a few reasons why Cyber Essentials matters more than ever:

• Required for many government and public sector tenders
• Strengthens credibility and builds client trust
• Demonstrates commitment to cyber security best practice
• Reduces the risk of common cyber attacks
• Supports cyber insurance requirements
• Protects against phishing, ransomware and malware
• Enhances your competitive position in bids and proposals
• Helps identify and close security gaps

Here's how we helped

Hargreaves Contracting Ltd get Cyber Essentials certified.

We helped Hargreaves Contracting achieve Cyber Essentials by guiding them through the entire process - from identifying security gaps to successfully completing their submission.

Cyber Essentials can feel complex without the right support, so we provided structured guidance, technical remediation and clear direction at every stage.

How we supported Hargreaves Contracting:

• Conducted an initial gap assessment against Cyber Essentials requirements
• Identified vulnerabilities and prioritised remediation actions
• Strengthened device, firewall and user access controls
• Hardened Microsoft 365 and endpoint security configurations
• Ensured patching and update policies met certification standards
• Guided completion of the Cyber Essentials questionnaire
• Completed a final review before submission to guarantee a first-time pass
• The result was a smooth certification process, improved security posture and greater assurance
