How does Cyber Essentials compare to other certificates like ISO 27001?

Cyber Essentials sets a solid security baseline, but it doesn't go as deep as ISO 27001. It's a strong first step for businesses with no certification yet, turning good intentions into a recognised standard. Many of our clients earn Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, then move on to ISO 27001, which asks for far more procedural and technical controls than Cyber Essentials covers on its own.
