If you are considering a Cyber Essentials certification, you should follow these steps. First, appoint an IASME Cyber Essentials certification body, who you will work closely with you to prepare for and gain the certification. The most important step is preparation for the following assessments:
- External vulnerability scan (all external-facing IPs)
- Internal vulnerability scan (a sample of devices)
- Questionnaire audit
- Malware check (AV, Email)
- Mobile device check
Once you have prepared, you’ll have three months to submit your application for the CE+ certification. If you have met the requirements, you’ll be rewarded with the badge.
Find out how you can gain the Cyber Essentials Plus certification remotely whilst the assessment scope remains the same as in-person assessments.
While the Cyber Essentials certification is a highly-recognised achievement within itself, it doesn’t cover all areas of cyber security, such as social engineering. To ensure you are protecting your organisation against all security threats, you should consider undertaking other certifications, such as ISO 27001, which certifies your business in information security management.
The basic Cyber Essentials certification starts at £300, but this may increase depending on the size of your organisation. If your organisation needs extra support, the Cyber Essentials Supported certification the cost starts at £995. Each Cyber Essentials certification is valid for 12 months.
