Cyber Essentials Readiness (v3.3)

Cyber Essentials is the UK Government-backed standard for basic cyber hygiene. With the release of Version 3.3 (Danzell), the requirements for cloud security and multi-factor authentication have become significantly more rigorous. We help you navigate these changes and guarantee a first-time pass.

MFA is Mandatory

Under v3.3, Multi-Factor Authentication must be enabled on all cloud services—no exceptions.

Cloud in Scope

SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS are now fully integrated into the assessment scope.

Device Management

Strict rules for BYOD and remote working devices to ensure they meet security baselines.

Patching Rigour

Critical updates must be applied within 14 days to meet the "Auto-Pass" criteria.

How We Support Your Certification

We don't just point out problems; we provide the technical fixes. Our "Cyber Vitals" report acts as a pre-audit gap analysis, mapping your current state against the five pillars of the scheme:

  • Gap Analysis: We identify "Auto-Fail" items like missing HSTS or weak SPF/DMARC records.
  • Policy Drafting: We provide the documentation and BYOD policies required for the questionnaire.
  • Submission Support: Expert guidance as you complete the IASME portal.

Why Certify in 2026?

Certification isn't just a badge; it's a commercial requirement. Most UK Government and MoD contracts now mandate Cyber Essentials. Additionally, businesses with a turnover under £20m may qualify for free cyber liability insurance upon successful certification.

Don't Risk an "Auto-Fail"

Version 3.3 has stricter marking criteria. Let’s run a Vitals Scan first to ensure your infrastructure is ready.
