Questions
If yours isn't here, ask us when you book.
Is this the certification?
No. Cyber Essentials is certified by IASME-licensed Certification Bodies. We get you ready, so the certification goes through first time, and help you submit.
How much does it cost?
For up to 25 staff: Report from £395, Verified from £995 and Fix from £1,950, plus VAT. The certification fee is paid to the Certification Body.
What makes you fail?
Most often: multi-factor sign-in missing on a cloud service, security updates older than 14 days, unsupported software such as Windows 10 without extended updates, and admin accounts used for email. The report lists these first.
Do you need access to our systems?
Not for Report. For Verified, read-only access to Microsoft 365 and Intune, approved by your administrator. We never change anything without your agreement.
What about Cyber Essentials Plus?
Plus adds an audit of your devices. Our CE+ pre-audit runs the same tests first, so the real audit has no surprises.
