What Cyber Essentials Covers
The key areas we help you get right.
Cyber Essentials focuses on important technical controls that reduce the risk of common cyber attacks.
Firewalls & Internet Gateways
Reviewing routers, firewalls and internet-facing services to make sure only the right access is allowed.
Secure Configuration
Removing risky defaults, reducing unnecessary services and improving device and account configuration.
User Access Control
Checking admin rights, user permissions, MFA and account access so people only have what they need.
Malware Protection
Ensuring devices have suitable protection in place, including antivirus, application controls or approved alternatives.
Security Updates
Reviewing operating systems, apps, firmware and patching processes to help keep supported software up to date.
IT Policy & Documentation
Helping make sure your business has the right IT policies, HR documentation, staff handbook guidance and security procedures in place.
Our Process
A practical route to getting compliant.
We quote based on the amount of work required, usually in days, because every IT environment is different.
A small business with modern, well-managed devices may need very little work. A business with older devices, unmanaged accounts or unclear policies may need more remediation before they are ready.
Readiness Review
We review your current setup, including devices, accounts, Microsoft 365, remote access and security basics.
Gap Report & Quote
We identify what needs fixing and provide a quote based on the amount and complexity of the work required.
Remediation Work
We help close the gaps, such as improving access control, applying updates, hardening devices and tightening configuration.
Assessment Preparation
We help you prepare for the certification assessment with the right information and a clearer understanding of your answers.
Ongoing Improvement
Cyber Essentials is a strong starting point. We can also help keep your IT aligned after certification.
Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus
What is the difference?
Both standards are based on the same core security controls, but the level of verification is different.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is usually completed as a self-assessment. Your business answers questions about your IT setup and security controls, then an external certification body reviews the assessment.
- Good starting point for improving security
- Often required for tenders and supply chains
- Focuses on key technical controls
- We help you prepare and close gaps before applying
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus uses the same core controls, but includes hands-on technical verification. This normally involves additional testing of devices and security controls.
- Higher level of assurance
- Includes independent technical checks
- Useful when customers need stronger proof
- We can help prepare your systems before testing
Redloft Technology provides preparation, remediation and guidance. The official Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certificate is issued by an approved external certification body.
