Use Cases

Where GRC Makes the Biggest Difference

Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus before a tender deadline

A public-sector or enterprise tender requires Cyber Essentials Plus, and the submission deadline is weeks away.

What we deliver: We prioritise the controls the auditor will check, remediate the estate and shepherd you through the technical audit, so you win the right to bid.

ISO 27001 readiness for a regulated buyer

A financial-services, healthcare or global buyer is asking for ISO 27001 certification, and you're starting from scratch.

What we deliver: We build a right-sized Information Security Management System, run internal audits and hand you a defensible path to certification within 6 to 9 months.

Building a supplier-assurance response pack

Every customer questionnaire takes days and answers drift between people, so procurement reviews stall.

What we deliver: We produce a single supplier-assurance pack (policies, evidence, controls matrix) that your sales team can send within hours, keeping deals moving.

Standing up a living risk register

Leadership can't see the top information-security risks, and nothing gets prioritised until something breaks.

What we deliver: We build a risk register with owners, treatments and review cadence, so the board governs real exposure rather than reacting to incidents.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Cyber Essentials take?+

Most clients are certified within 2, 4 weeks. Cyber Essentials Plus typically takes another few weeks for the technical audit.

Is ISO 27001 overkill for us?+

It depends on your customers. If procurement teams are asking for it, we'll get you there in a pragmatic, right-sized way.

Do you provide the certification body?+

We work with accredited certification bodies and will guide you through choosing the right one.

How much does Cyber Essentials certification cost?+

The IASME certification fee for Cyber Essentials starts at £320 plus VAT for micro-organisations. Consultancy to get you ready and pass first time is separate; most SMEs invest £1,500 to £4,000 for a supported, right-sized programme.

What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?+

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment against five technical controls. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent hands-on audit of a sample of your devices and cloud services, which is why it carries more weight with enterprise buyers and public-sector procurement.

Do we need ISO 27001 if we already have Cyber Essentials Plus?+

Not automatically. ISO 27001 is a broader information security management system covering people, process and governance, not just technical controls. Enterprise customers, regulated sectors and international buyers usually ask for ISO 27001; UK public-sector work often accepts Cyber Essentials Plus.

How often do we need to renew Cyber Essentials?+

Both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are annual certifications. We keep clients continuously compliant with quarterly control reviews so the annual renewal is a formality, not a fire drill.
