Where would you like to start?
Whether you need Cyber Essentials for a contract, you're renewing, or you just want good, plain-English guidance, pick the option that sounds most like you. Each one takes you straight to the right place.
I need Cyber Essentials for a contract or tender
A customer, framework or public sector buyer has asked for it, and you want the quickest sensible route. Answer six quick questions and we'll suggest the right package.
I'm a small business or sole trader
Cyber Essentials is very achievable for small organisations, and you don't need an IT department. See what it looks like at your size.
I'm in a specific sector
Schools, charities, law firms, accountants, financial services and defence suppliers each have their own drivers and common trip-ups. Charities under £2m can also apply for our Charity Special Offer.
I need Cyber Essentials Plus
Your contract asks for independent technical testing. See how the CE+ audit works under the 2026 Danzell rules, and request a quote.
I'm renewing my certificate
Certificates last 12 months. With us you keep the same assessor year after year, so each renewal picks up where the last one left off.
I'm an MSP or IT provider
Bring Cyber Essentials to your clients without becoming a Certification Body yourself. We certify; you keep the client and the technical work.
I'm certifying with IASME or another Certification Body
You're welcome here. Our Resource Hub is free for everyone, wherever you certify: plain-English guides from our assessors on scoping, MFA, patching, account separation and the April 2026 requirements. And if you'd like to talk to us when your renewal comes round, we're here.
I'm not sure where to start
No problem. Start with the basics of what Cyber Essentials is and why it matters, or book a free call and an assessor will help you work out what you need. Or try our free three-minute readiness check.
