Get Cyber Essentials-ready and stay that way

Cyber Essentials is increasingly required by clients and public-sector contracts. We help you understand the gaps, close them through managed controls and keep readiness visible all year — not just at assessment time.

Common challenges

Where firms usually start

  • Unsure which devices and accounts are in scope
  • Patching, admin rights and firewall settings are inconsistent
  • Evidence is gathered in a rush before every renewal

Gap analysis

We map your devices, accounts and configuration against the five Cyber Essentials control areas.

Managed controls

Patching, device management, MFA and secure configuration are delivered as part of your managed service.

Readiness reporting

RiskBuddy tracks readiness continuously so you know where you stand before you apply.

Assessment support

We help you prepare evidence for your chosen accredited certification body.
