Most common starting point
Cyber Essentials
The UK government-backed standard that proves your business has key fundamental security controls in place. Ideal for round supplier cybersecurity and increasingly expected by larger clients and insurers. Assisted and self-assessed options are available.
- Required for many government and public sector contracts
- Shows clients and insurers your basic controls are in place
- Assisted option available if you want support through the process
Cyber Essentials Plus
Everything in Cyber Essentials, with the addition of independent technical verification that your controls actually work in practice. Provides a stronger level of assurance for clients, procurement teams, and insurers who need more than a self-assessment.
- Includes hands-on technical testing by an independent assessor
- Higher assurance for contracts that require it
- Builds directly on Cyber Essentials — no duplication of effort

- Proportionate alternative to ISO 27001 for smaller organisations
- Multiple levels available to match your needs
CIS Benchmarking
A structured review of how securely your systems and platforms are configured, measured against the CIS Controls — a globally recognised set of security best practices. You receive a clear, prioritised list of what is configured well, what needs attention, and what to do next.
- Identifies specific configuration gaps in your environment
- Prioritised findings know what to fix first
- Plain-English report suitable for technical and non-technical readers
