Cyber Essentials Plus – higher assurance, real verification
Cyber Essentials Plus is the advanced version of Cyber Essentials.
Unlike standard certification, Plus includes independent technical testing to confirm your cybersecurity controls are properly implemented across your organisation.
Testing typically includes:
External vulnerability scanning
Device sampling and configuration checks
MFA validation
Patch management verification
Malware protection checks
User access and admin control review
