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, servers and build types used by the organisation.
*Our Cyber Essentials Plus packages include a Cyber Essentials Plus audit at one location, for up to ten sample devices. Additional workstations, mobile devices, server devices and build types may need to be tested to meet the sampling requirements of the scheme. If you require more than ten devices to be tested, you will need to purchase Cyber Essentials Plus Certification – Additional Device Testing.
*The package includes an external vulnerability scan for up to 20 IP addresses. If you have more than 20 IP addresses, you will also need to purchase sufficient additional IP packages.
The duration of testing depends on the number of builds of user devices (including BYOD (bring your own device)) that are within the scope of certification.
This technical audit is usually conducted remotely. You can request that testing is undertaken at your business location, however, additional expenses will be charged to accommodate our consultant’s travel time and costs.
For on-site audits, the number of locations to be assessed depends on whether all the different builds can be tested in one location. One location refers to one physical office/site, or all devices/machines selected for testing being on the same network.
**If you fail any of the Cyber Essentials Plus testing performed as part of the overall engagement, we will provide you with details of further tests required. This package includes one free retest. If after this, a pass cannot be awarded and additional tests are required, you would need to purchase Cyber Essentials Plus Internal Retest.
The Cyber Essentials Plus final report and certificate must be complete within 30 days the audit date. Any remediation work and retesting must be completed with sufficient time for our QA and generation of the report and certificate within this time limit.
If your Cyber Essentials Plus application is unsuccessful, your Cyber Essentials certification may be revoked.
If your Cyber Essentials Plus application is not fully complete within three months from the date of your Cyber Essentials certificate, you will need to repeat your Cyber Essentials certification at full cost, before any further attempt to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus.
For more details on testing requirements and conditions, including information about what is covered in the free retest and when additional retest fees may apply, please refer to our Cyber Essentials FAQs and Terms for buying goods and services
