Bolster your organisation’s commitment to baseline cyber security by achieving Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications first time with a little help from us.
This is an annual subscription service. The Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Certification part of this service will automatically renew each year. Cyber Essentials certificates are valid for 12 months, in line with IASME requirements. You can cancel at any time. (T&Cs apply.)
Some of the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questions can be difficult to understand if you do not have a technical IT background or you have a complex company structure. This service is applicable for the first year of your subscription and provides two hours of one-to-one consultancy support. It’s ideal for organisations that need extra help understanding the scheme, defining the scope of their certification or completing the SAQ.
Our Cyber Essentials services have a ‘world-class’ NPS (Net Promoter Score) of +100.
Our Get A Little Help package has been created for organisations that have some understanding and knowledge of the five key controls required for certification, but that may need some help completing the IASME SAQ.

IT Governance is one of the founding Cyber Essentials certification bodies and remains one of the largest in the UK. We have issued more than 6,600 certifications worldwide, and our broad range of fixed-price services has helped thousands of organisations achieve baseline cyber security.
Implementing the five controls correctly will help protect your organisation from approximately 80% of cyber attacks.
The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), the UK’s data protection regulator, recommends Cyber Essentials as a “good starting point” for the cyber security of the IT you rely on to hold and process personal data.
Boost your reputation and attract new business by assuring customers you take cyber security seriously and have cyber security measures in place.
Cyber Essentials Plus will give you the opportunity to work with the UK government and MOD.
Cyber Essentials certificates issued in the previous 12 months are listed on the NCSC website, showing suppliers your commitment to protecting your and your customers’ data.
Cyber Essentials Plus involves a technical audit of the systems that are in scope for Cyber Essentials. This includes a representative set of workstations, mobile devices, internally hosted servers, and build types used by the organisation’s end users to complete their day-to-day duties. The number of builds is defined by the number of configurations of operating systems and software suites installed. If more than one browser or Office suite is used, each variant will need to be tested. If they are installed on the same build, this is acceptable.
*Optional free cyber insurance available to UK companies with a turnover of less than £20 million. This includes a 24-hour helpline to report a cyber incident, which will provide crisis management and incident response, with a total liability limit of £25,000.
