Cyber Essentials vs. Cyber Essentials Plus: Which Is Right for Your Business?
Cybersecurity is no longer optional, whether you're handling sensitive legal data, building innovative tech, delivering critical supplies, managing patient information, or aiming to win government contracts. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are UK government-backed certifications that help protect your organisation from the most common cyber threats while building trust with clients, partners, and regulators.
Cyber Essentials
A streamlined, entry-level certification based on a self-assessment. It demonstrates that your organisation has implemented essential cybersecurity controls to protect against common threats like phishing, malware, and data breaches.
What's covered:
- Boundary firewalls and secure internet gateways
- Secure configuration of devices and software
- Access controls and user permissions
- Malware protection
- Regular software updates and patch management
✅ Best suited for:
- Tech start-ups seeking fast, foundational protection
- Small legal or healthcare practices handling confidential data
- SMEs in supply chains looking to meet minimum cyber compliance requirements
- Businesses bidding for public sector contracts
Cyber Essentials Plus
Everything in Cyber Essentials — but with the added confidence of a hands-on, independent technical audit. This includes vulnerability scanning and simulated attacks to test the real-world strength of your systems.
What's included:
- On-site or remote audit by certified assessors
- Rigorous testing of endpoints and internet-facing systems
- Verification that security controls are correctly implemented and effective
- All benefits of standard Cyber Essentials certification
✅ Best suited for:
- Legal firms needing verifiable client data protection
- Healthcare providers responsible for sensitive patient information
- Supply chain businesses under pressure from partners or regulators
