cyber essentials
Get certified. Stay protected. Win more business.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme that shows your business takes cybersecurity seriously. We make certification simple, fast and stress-free with expert support from start to finish.
A basic level of protection and a powerful business asset
Cyber Essentials is a government-approved cybersecurity certification that helps protect your organisation from the most common online threats. It shows you’ve put essential controls in place and gives your customers, insurers and stakeholders peace of mind.
You’ll need it if you:
Want to work with the UK government or MOD
Need to meet insurance or compliance requirements
Want to prove you're taking cybersecurity seriously
Two levels of Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials
This entry-level certification shows you’ve got the basics in place to protect against common cyber threats. You complete a simple questionnaire, and we guide you through every step to make sure you pass with confidence.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Includes everything in Cyber Essentials, plus a hands-on technical audit by our certified team. We’ll test real devices and systems to verify that your security controls are in place and working effectively.
