Firewall and Routers
As part of your Cyber Essentials assessment, we’ll verify that firewalls are in place to protect your network from unauthorised access. We don’t just check for their presence we ensure they’re properly configured, securely managed, and kept up to date with the latest security patches to defend against known threats.
Secure Configuration
A crucial part of the assessment is ensuring you have a clear process for regularly reviewing and updating the security settings across your software, devices, and systems.
This includes enforcing strong password policies, managing credentials securely, and implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) where appropriate. These controls are essential to reducing the risk of unauthorised access and ensuring your defences evolve alongside emerging threats.
Access Control
As part of the assessment, we’ll review how your organisation manages user access to systems and sensitive data. This includes checking that you have a defined process for granting and revoking access, regularly reviewing permissions, and ensuring that users only have access to what they need.
We’ll also assess how you monitor user activity to detect suspicious behavior, an essential step in preventing insider threats and unauthorised access.
Malware Protection
In this part of the assessment, we’ll evaluate whether your organisation routinely installs security updates across all operating systems and software. We'll look at your process for testing and deploying patches, as well as how you track, prioritise, and address known vulnerabilities.
Timely patching is one of the most effective defences against exploitation, and a structured update process is key to maintaining a secure environment
Update Management
During this stage of the assessment, we’ll examine whether your organisation consistently applies security updates to all operating systems and software in use.
We'll assess your procedures for testing and deploying updates safely, as well as how you identify, track, and remediate vulnerabilities. A proactive patch management strategy is essential to protect against emerging threats and reduce your exposure to known exploits.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the foundation of Cyber Essentials by adding a hands-on technical audit of your IT systems. While the standard Cyber Essentials certification is based on a verified self-assessment, Cyber Essentials Plus offers a higher level of assurance through independent testing.
Although both certifications are based on the same five technical controls, Cyber Essentials Plus validates that those controls are not only documented but effectively implemented across your infrastructure
