IT Governance is a CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials certification body, meaning that this service includes an external vulnerability scan that independently verifies your security status.
This service will help you achieve CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials certification with a little help from us. It is conducted online and includes:
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).
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.
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.

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.
It provides five security controls that, according to the UK government, could prevent “around 80% of cyber attacks”.
Correctly implemented cyber security has the additional advantage of driving business efficiency throughout the organisation, saving money and improving productivity.
Implementing the five controls correctly will help protect your organisation.
Focus on your core business objectives knowing that you are protected from the majority of cyber attacks.
Demonstrate your commitment to protecting your own data and that of your customers and suppliers.
Cyber Essentials will permit you to work with the UK government and Cyber Essentials Plus will give you the opportunity to work with the MOD.
Boost your reputation and have a greater chance of winning contracts.
Cyber insurance agencies often look more favourably on organisations that have achieved Cyber Essentials certification.
