Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a security certification and accreditation to demonstrate that you have five key controls in place to prevent cyber crime. Cyber Essentials requires a self-assessment questionnaire, with the responses independently reviewed by an external certifying body. 

Cyber Essentials Plus requires an independent assessment of your security controls, to verify that you do indeed have the five technical security controls in place. It will involve a vulnerability scan, which will identify unpatched or unsupported software, open ports and incorrect firewall configuration. There is also support for physical and technical controls in restricting access to third parties, such as clients and suppliers visiting your offices.
