Step 1: Initial Assessment
The first step in achieving Cyber Essentials certification is to perform an initial assessment of your current cybersecurity measures. This involves reviewing your existing policies, procedures, and technical controls. Our team of experts will conduct a thorough analysis to identify any gaps or weaknesses that need to be addressed.
Step 2: Remediation Planning
Based on the initial assessment, we will develop a remediation plan tailored to your business. This plan will outline the necessary steps to enhance your cybersecurity posture, ensuring that you meet the requirements for Cyber Essentials certification. Our consultants will provide detailed guidance on implementing these changes effectively and efficiently.
Step 3: Implementation
Once the remediation plan is in place, it’s time to implement the recommended measures. This may involve updating software, configuring firewalls, enhancing access controls, and improving malware protection. Our team will work closely with your IT staff to ensure all changes are made correctly and in a timely manner.
Step 4: Self-Assessment Questionnaire
For the Cyber certification, you’ll need to complete a self-assessment questionnaire. This document covers five key areas of cybersecurity: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. Our consultants will assist you in accurately completing the questionnaire, ensuring all responses reflect your current security practices.
Step 5: External Audit (Cyber Essentials Plus)
If you opt for the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, an external audit is required. This involves an independent assessment of your IT systems to verify that your cybersecurity measures are effective. Our team will help prepare you for this audit, providing support and guidance throughout the process to ensure a successful outcome.
