Cyber Essentials
The Cyber Essentials scheme is a Government-backed and industry supported accreditation that helps organisations demonstrate they are taking necessary steps to protect themselves from cyber security attacks and to keep customer data safe.
Cyber Essentials is now a mandatory requirement of the EU GDPR Regulations for organisations within the public sector.
As an IASME governed certifying body, we can offer two levels of certification with fixed-price solutions to help you achieve either Cyber Essentials Basic or Cyber Essentials Plus.
Both certifications require a self-assessment questionnaire to be completed, focusing on five essential mitigation strategies.
For added assurance, we can assist you with the questionnaire.
Then Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for you to be considered in the tender process.
You are a prime target for attack. SMEs are seen as the backdoors into larger companies. Eliminate this risk.
If you aren't sure if you already have Cyber Essentials, you can check the IASME certificate database by clicking here.
There are two types of Cyber Essentials certifications
Cyber Essentials
We recognise that some organisations already have the necessary IT knowledge and skills and will therefore be able to carry out all of the necessary preparation for this base level certification. In this instance, you will complete the self-assessment questionnaire yourself and we will perform the external scan. We will then review the results of both and a certificate will be issued if passed. If you do not have the in-house skills, we are able to assist with completing the questionnaire.
Cyber Essentials Plus
This higher level of certification includes everything the base Cyber Essentials certification offers, but has even more assurance through an additional and thorough on-site internal scan of your network focusing on workstations & mobile devices. If budget allows, we always recommend Cyber Essentials Plus to ensure you get the most assurance from having this type of certification.

*Optional Assistance
For both levels of certification, D2NA can offer additional consultancy conducted by one of our cyber security experts.
For standard Cyber Essentials, our expert will work with you to understand the questionnaire and assist with answering the questions where required.
Cyber Essentials Plus assistance will require an initial scoping call to determine the amount of assistance required. We can assist with identifying areas of failure and provide guidance to increase the chances of your assessment being successful. For any changes that may need to be made to infrastructure, we can still assist, but this would be within a separately scoped project.
