Cyber Essentials Guidance

chipperhead · 17 May 2021 at 13:26

I wondered if anyone can recommend a reputable company that can advise us regarding Cyber Essentials.
I'm just going through the standard Cyber Essentials at the moment and think I can pretty much get through it but once this is done we need to work towards Cyber Essentials Plus which is beyond me.
I've had a search and plenty of businesses come up but if I can get some advice or a recommendation that would be great.
Cheers

I've previously used https://www.nccgroup.com/ to pass Cyber Essentials Plus.

We got cyber essential plus certified last year (site wide), and going through the renewal at the minute.

Things have changed a bit, and we're being told users are no longer allowed to use the outlook mobile app on personal phones. This is gonna go down like a lead balloon.

It looks an absolute nightmare! That's why I need someone to guide me through it.

I'm using it to my advantage. They want me to use emails on a phone, they can buy me a nice new one

Ah! If you were a bit closer to the South West I'd have suggested Capital Network Solutions in South Wales.
A good source of information is the IASME web-site (iasme.co.uk) who list all of the certification bodies. NCC are a very professional organisation, but may also have 'very professional' prices for CE+...
