Beyond the certificate: year-round CE+ confidence
-
Win more business with proven security credentials
CE+ certification opens doors. It's mandatory for many government contracts and increasingly expected by enterprise clients. Show prospects you take security seriously with certification that's always current, never lapsed. -
Say goodbye to pre-audit panic
No more frantic remediation rushes or sleepless nights before audit day. Our continuous monitoring catches issues as they arise, turning annual chaos into manageable, scheduled tasks. -
See your compliance status in real-time
Our unobtrusive agent quietly monitors your systems, feeding live compliance data to your dashboard. You'll always know exactly where you stand. No surprises or guesswork. -
Turn remediation into routine maintenance
When issues pop up, they become part of your regular IT workload, not emergency fire drills. Small fixes throughout the year beat massive overhauls every audit season. -
Expert guidance at every step
From initial assessment to audit day and beyond, our specialists are in your corner. We arrange the auditors, prepare your team, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. -
Keep your team focused on growth

Why CE+ Support
Because annual certification shouldn't mean annual stress
-
We see what one-off audits miss
Traditional Cyber Essentials services get you certified then disappear for eleven months. That leaves you vulnerable to compliance drift and last-minute scrambles. We stay with you year-round, catching issues before they become audit failures.
-
Partnership beats outsourcing
More than a Cyber Essentials consultancy, we’re your year-round compliance partner. Tailoring advice to your unique environment, we go beyond generic guidance to give solutions that actually work.
-
Proactive beats reactive
Why wait for problems to compound? Our regular compliance checks and reviews catch issues before they snowball into audit failures. When our assessments flag gaps, you'll have time to address them properly without rushing a fix.
-
Evidence that speaks volumes
When prospects ask about your security credentials, show them more than a certificate. Our dashboard provides ongoing proof of compliance—powerful evidence that you don't just pass audits, you live security best practices.
FAQs
Your CE+ questions, answered
Is Cyber Essentials Plus equivalent to ISO 27001?
While both are respected security standards, they serve different purposes. CE+ focuses on technical controls and is often quicker to achieve, while ISO 27001 covers broader information security management. Many organisations start with CE+ as a stepping stone to ISO 27001.
Do I need Cyber Essentials to get Cyber Essentials Plus?
Yes, Cyber Essentials certification is the foundation. You’ll complete the CE self-assessment first, then move to the CE+ technical audit. We manage both stages, ensuring a smooth progression from basic to Plus certification.
How long does it take to get Cyber Essentials Plus?
With our support, a typical organisation could achieve certification within 4-8 weeks, depending on their current security posture. Our initial assessment identifies exactly what needs addressing, so you’ll be sure to tick every box on the Cyber Essentials checklist.
How much does Cyber Essentials Plus cost?
Our managed service includes all preparation, ongoing monitoring, and audit support. Contact us for transparent pricing based on your organisation size.
How long does Cyber Essentials Plus certification last?
CE+ certification is valid for 12 months. With our managed service, recertification becomes a formality rather than an ordeal. You’re always ready because we’ve kept you compliant all year long.
