Bolster your organisation’s commitment to cyber security by achieving Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
This is an annual subscription service. All elements of this service will renew automatically each year. Cyber Essentials certificates are valid for 12 months, in line with IASME requirements. (T&Cs apply.)
This service includes both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. If you already have a recently acquired Cyber Essentials certification (within the previous three months), you may be able to purchase our Cyber Essentials Plus Certification.
This service is for organisations that do not need one-to-one consultancy support and are comfortable carrying out all the preparations for certification themselves.
Do you need help defining your scope or are you unclear about any of the five Cyber Essentials control areas? If so, we recommend purchasing our Cyber Essentials Plus – Get A Little Help package, as this includes remote consultancy support to help you through the application process.
Alternatively, you can purchase remote consultancy support by the hour. This service is delivered via email or Microsoft Teams by one of our cyber security experts.

“Really pleased with the support offered by Matthew and the team. Straightforward advice on how to complete the form and pragmatic ways to comply with the requirements. We have been discussing getting Cyber Essentials certification since 2017 but have always put it off, being daunted by the process and speaking to IT consultants who made it sound too complicated. Working with you made the process manageable, straightforward and stress-free. Thank you for all your help!”
- Tom Lamb, A Lamb Associates Limited
“Our consultant, Terry Norton, was professional throughout and clearly had a very good knowledge of the standard and the testing, being able to help our IT Administrator ensure the relevant audit tools were installed correctly. We also found Terry friendly, patient and helpful, which is very important for remote sessions.”

IT Governance is one of the founding Cyber Essentials certification bodies and remains one of the largest in the UK. We have issued more than 6,600 certifications worldwide, and our broad range of fixed-price services has helped thousands of organisations achieve baseline cyber security.
Cyber Essentials Plus will allow you to work with the UK government and MOD.
Cyber insurance agencies look more favourably on organisations that have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.
The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) recommends Cyber Essentials as “A good starting point” for the cyber security of the IT you rely on to hold and process personal data.
Cyber Essentials certification is required to bid for central government contracts that involve handling sensitive and personal information or the provision of certain technical products and services.
Cyber Essentials Plus involves a technical audit of the systems that are in scope for Cyber Essentials. This includes a representative set of workstations, mobile devices, internally hosted servers, and build types used by the organisation’s end users to complete their day-to-day duties. The number of builds is defined by the number of configurations of operating systems and software suites installed. If more than one browser or Office suite is used, each variant will need to be tested. If they are installed on the same build, this is acceptable.
This Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus package includes the cost of your Cyber Essentials certification, as set out by IASME. Additional charges are for additional services delivered.
Please ensure you select the correct package for your organisation size. Prices quoted are available for purchase online through the website only. Any purchases processed offline through our sales teams will be subject to a £50 administration fee.
