Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that proves your business has the basic protections in place against the most common attacks. Increasingly it is a condition of public-sector contracts and supplier onboarding. We take you through the five controls, fix the gaps and submit the assessment so you are certified without a month of guesswork.

Get certified, win tenders and show customers their data is safe with you. Qualify for contracts, Protected against common attacks, Certified first time - that is what changes. Guide price from £950, with a fixed written quote after a free consultation.
Public-sector and large-company tenders routinely require it. Certification removes a reason to be ruled out. The five controls stop the majority of opportunistic attacks that hit small businesses. We prepare every answer and fix the gaps before submission, so there is no failed assessment to explain.
No line item appears on an invoice that was not on this list first.
Doing these in the wrong sequence is why most projects of this kind underperform.
Agree what is in scope: devices, cloud services, networks and who uses them.
We check each control against the current setup and list exactly what needs to change.
Settings tightened, policies written, software updated. Usually a week or two of work.
Questionnaire completed and submitted. Certificate typically issued within days of approval.

Two to four weeks for most small businesses, depending on how many gaps need fixing first. The assessment itself is usually turned around within a few working days.
Yes, annually. We send reminders and handle the renewal so the certificate never lapses in the middle of a tender.
No. The scheme is designed for businesses of every size, including sole traders. The controls scale with the organisation.
One team for your website, search, store, brand, social media and AI assistant.
Plugins fall behind, certificates expire, forms stop sending and nobody notices until a customer mentions it. A care plan puts a named person on your site every month: updates applied, backups tested, uptime watched, speed checked and small changes made without a quote for each one.
A website has one job: turn a stranger into an enquiry. We start with that number and work backwards - through the messaging, the structure, the page speed and the follow-up. Design is how it gets done, not the point of it.
If you sell across four continents, most of your enquiries arrive when nobody is at a desk. A chatbot trained properly on your business handles the first conversation, filters out the tyre-kickers, and books the ones worth your time.
