WHAT WE DO

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same five technical control areas as the standard certification: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and software updates. The difference is in how those controls are assessed.
Some procurement frameworks, government contracts and larger private sector clients specify Cyber Essentials Plus rather than the standard certification. It is also more commonly expected in sectors where the security of supplier systems carries particular weight.
WHY CHOOSE US

When do you need Cyber Essentials Plus?

Some procurement frameworks, government contracts and larger private sector clients specify Cyber Essentials Plus rather than the standard certification. It is also increasingly expected in sectors where the risk associated with a supplier's cyber controls is high.
If your current clients have not asked for it but you are planning to tender for larger contracts or move into more regulated sectors, Cyber Essentials Plus provides a stronger and more credible statement of your controls than self-assessment alone.
FOR THE BEST OUTCOME

Preparing for the assessment

The technical nature of Cyber Essentials Plus means preparation matters more than it does for the standard certification. The Rybec Group reviews your current setup in advance, identifies any controls likely to fail, and helps you address them before the formal test.
That preparation reduces the time and cost of getting certified, and means you go into the assessment with a clear understanding of where you stand rather than discovering gaps during the test itself.

How The Rybec Group supports you

Rybec Group manages the Cyber Essentials Plus process end-to-end:
From initial gap review through to post-assessment remediation and certification. We work with your IT team or provider to ensure the technical requirements are understood and met, and we communicate clearly so that the business understands what is happening at every stage.
