Achieve Cyber Essentials Plus with Confidence
Cyber Essentials Plus is becoming the required certification level by companies that take cyber security seriously as it provides a higher level of assurance through independent technical verification of your security controls. It goes beyond self-assessment by including hands-on testing to confirm that your systems are properly configured and protected against common external threats.
Designed for organisations that need stronger supply chain credibility or enhanced insurer confidence, Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates that your security measures are not only in place, but working effectively. This additional verification can give you a competitive advantage when bidding for contracts or working with security-conscious partners.

Why Use a Certification Body?
For many organisations, basic assurance is no longer enough. Customers, insurers, and supply chain partners increasingly expect proof that your security controls are not just declared but independently tested. Cyber Essentials Plus provides that higher level of confidence.
Unlike standard certification, Cyber Essentials Plus includes hands-on technical verification of your systems. This means your controls are actively tested to confirm they are working effectively. For business owners, this delivers something powerful: credibility. It shows that your organisation has been independently assessed and meets a stronger security benchmark.
Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus – What’s the Difference?
Cyber Essentials – A verified self-assessment confirming you have implemented the required security controls.
Cyber Essentials Plus – Independent technical testing that validates those controls are working in practice.
In simple terms:
- Cyber Essentials confirms you say you are secure.
- Cyber Essentials Plus proves it.
That additional verification can make the difference when bidding for contracts, renewing insurance, or reassuring larger clients. It strengthens your competitive position and reduces the risk of reputational damage caused by preventable breaches.
Working with an experienced Certification Body ensures you are properly prepared before assessment, reducing delays and protecting valuable commercial opportunities.
If you want to move beyond basic compliance and demonstrate verified protection, Cyber Essentials Plus gives you that competitive edge.
Without suitable protection, on average, organisations take over 200 days to detect and contain a data breach, which dramatically increases recovery costs.
Of data breaches are due to human mistakes, often through users that have not had cyber awareness training with attacks such as phishing or social engineering. Many of these are avoidable.
Studies have found that nearly 60% of breaches exploited known vulnerabilities for which a patch was already available but had not been applied in time!
