Whether you prefer the standard certification of the Cyber Essentials Plus qualification, your company will be tested against the same five basic security controls. They are:
- Secure Configuration
- Boundary Firewalls & Internet Gateways
- Access Control & Administrative Privilege Management
- Patch Management
- Malware Protection
The difference between the certification and accreditation process for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus is that the former evaluates the five controls via a technical audit. For a standard Cyber Essential qualification, you only need the information you provide to be verified by an assessor.
The proof required for either program is based on the size of the business. Therefore, the evidence is relative, meaning each application is taken on a case-by-case basis. There is no one-size-fits-all policy.
Here’s what you can expect during the application process.
- A briefing: We’ll walk you through the foundation of the scheme and highlight things such as the length of the course and the required details.
- An application form: In it, you’ll see how you need to provide the necessary proof to support your application.
- The assessment: Once you have completed the form and sent it to us, we’ll review the information and inform you whether you have been successful.
- The interview: The last part of the process is for the service owner to attend an interview.
- Certification: Congratulations – you’re Cyber Essentials qualified!
We always offer feedback on failed applications so that you can assess your weak spots and provide the evidence required to secure your certificate.
There are a plethora of benefits included in your qualification. Firstly, the basic certificate is a legal requirement for UK government suppliers or anyone bidding for the contracts. Without it, you can’t show that you’re able to handle sensitive and personal information securely, and you’ll be rejected.
Also, the Cyber Essentials certification includes liability insurance for certified businesses. For £300 plus VAT, you receive peace of mind that you’re covered for anything cybersecurity-related.
You must be certified and have a turnover of £20m or less per year.
All of the above may sound complicated, but they are basic security problems that are easy to fix. At JVR Consultancy, we can empower you to take your company’s safety to the next level by assessing and certifying you as Cyber Essentials qualified.
