Cyber Essentials - Get A Little Help

Description

We recommend this solution for organisations that are confident they have the skills to achieve Cyber Essentials certification, but are unsure of their scope and do not fully understand the five security controls (secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access controls, patch management and malware protection).

The Cyber Essentials scheme is a world-leading, cost-effective assurance mechanism for companies of all sizes to demonstrate that the most important cyber security controls have been implemented.

Correctly implemented cyber security has the additional advantage of driving business efficiency throughout the organisation, saving money and improving productivity.

How the application process works:

• We send you details of how to log on to our Cyber Essentials online portal.
• We book your two hours of Live Online consultancy.
• You define your scope for testing, which will either be the whole organisation’s enterprise IT or a subset.
• You complete and submit your self-assessment questionnaire SAQ.
• We inform you if the SAQ meets the requirements of the Cyber Essentials scheme.
• You schedule your external vulnerability scan through the portal.
• Subject to a positive outcome, we issue your Cyber Essentials certificate.

If you need a lot more help than the two hours of Live Online consultancy to define your scope, or to further understand the five Cyber Essentials control areas (secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access controls, patch management and malware protection), we recommend that you purchase our Get A Lot of Help package instead as that includes a full day of on-site consultancy. We will then be able to help you through all areas of the application process in greater detail.

Reduce cyber insurance premiums

Cyber insurance agencies often look more favourably on organisations that have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.

Conditions

The package includes a free vulnerability scan for up to 16 IP addresses. If you have more than 16 IP addresses, you will need to purchase additional IP packages in packs of 16. If you fail your external scan, a rescan will need to be purchased, plus any additional IP packages that you need.

You will receive the documentation toolkit within 48 hours of your purchase and we’ll contact you at the same time to schedule your Live Online consultancy. Your Live Online consultancy can be split over multiple sessions but any unused time will not be credited back.

AlphaPlus Consultancy is an education consultancy that specialises in the design, development and deployment of qualifications and their underpinning assessment, and in the evaluation of their performance and impact. A large proportion of our work involves secure and confidential data, with this in mind, data security is of critical importance to AlphaPlus Consultancy. Successfully completing the Cyber Essentials certification process assures our clients that we can be trusted to carefully manage their data. We opted for the Cyber Essentials ‘Get a little help’ package, to enable us to quickly clarify and rectify any concerns raised. The process was straightforward and culminated in us having enough support time left over to have our IT policy reviewed.
