We audit, secure, and document your business systems so you can easily pass the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials audit. Protect your operations from common cyber threats and win larger supplier contracts.
We implement and document every security control area mandated by standard auditors.
We review and configure firewall rules, disable remote administration ports, and block default login access codes to restrict perimeter vulnerabilities.
We harden local operating systems: disabling legacy features, turning off autoplay/autorun, locking down screen timers, and removing default software apps.
We enforce strict administrator guidelines, restricting permanent admin privileges and mapping user logs to prevent malicious account activities.
We track firmware, operating systems, and core apps, ensuring all security vulnerabilities are updated within 14 days of launch to prevent exploitation.
We manage the audit roadmap cleanly, guaranteeing a successful submission.
We review your active routers, laptops, operating systems, and administrator policies against auditor check sheets to locate compliance gaps.
We generate a plain-English checklist detailing exactly what modifications must occur to pass the security questionnaire successfully.
Our engineers configure boundary firewalls, harden user privilege folders, verify anti-malware software, and update patch schedules.
We fill out the official questionnaire, provide network mapping documentation, and submit to certification authorities for approval.
Common questions regarding security audits and UK compliance certifications.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme designed to help businesses protect themselves against common online security threats. It provides a structured framework outlining 5 core technical controls to secure devices and networks.
It significantly reduces the risk of cyber attacks (by up to 80%), proves to clients and insurers that you take security seriously, and is a mandatory requirement to bid for UK central government and specific local supply contracts.
Depending on your current IT compliance state, audit preparation and system hardening typically take between 1 and 2 weeks. Once the questionnaire is submitted to the accreditation body, approval is processed within 3 business days.
Because we perform a rigorous pre-audit verification and system hardening phase before submission, we guarantee a successful pass. In the highly unlikely event of a gap flag, we apply the required fixes immediately at no extra engineering cost.
