What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials involves a self-assessment questionnaire where organisations answer questions about their assessment scope, employees, devices, work locations, and the five core controls: user access control, secure configuration, security update management, firewalls and routers, and malware protection. An independent assessor then reviews and marks the submitted answers.
What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the Cyber Essentials self-assessment by including a technical audit of your IT systems to verify compliance with the same technical controls. The audit examines a representative set of user devices, all internet gateways, and servers with internet-accessible services. This provides greater assurance of adherence to the Cyber Essentials scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes certificates issued have a 12-month expiry date.
The cost of Cyber Essentials Certification follows a tiered pricing structure which adopts the internationally recognised definition for micro, small, medium and large enterprises.
In addition to these flat rate fees, Intouch charge an additional fee to undertake the entire process on your behalf. The additional fees will be determined by the size and complexity of your network.
Yes, organisations overseas are able to get certificates.
The simple answer is no. Before you can move onto the Cyber Essentials Plus, you must first pass the Cyber Essentials basic certification, as the Plus audit assesses the information provided in your Cyber Essentials questionnaire. Once CE basic is achieved, you must pass your CE+ within 90 days.
Cyber Essentials basic is a self-assessed and independently verified questionnaire. The assessment has 70 questions which qualify that your current approach to securing your business is in-line with the CE framework. Cyber Essentials Plus provides a higher level of assurance, it involves us auditing your systems utilising many vulnerability tools to test the effectiveness of the security measures in place.
While the Cyber Essentials scheme provides a good baseline of cyber security, it does not go into the same level of detail as other security standards such as ISO 27001.
Cyber Essentials is a great way for organisations who may have no cyber security certification, to begin taking steps into formalising their cyber resilience into a recognised accreditation.
Many of our customers who have achieved Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus certification have gone on to achieve ISO 27001; however, the approach to achieving ISO 27001 requires many procedural and technical controls to be in place which would not be covered by Cyber Essentials alone.
