Why businesses need Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that proves your business takes cyber security seriously. It assesses your business against five key technical controls that protect against 99% of common cyber threats.

Cyber Essentials (CE) is the entry-level certification – a basic but essential foundation of cyber security. Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) is the advanced version – the same controls but independently verified with technical testing.

For many businesses, Cyber Essentials is key to:

  • Win new business: it’s required for many UK government contracts (details here)
  • Get coverage and reduce premiums: it’s increasingly used by insurers to assess risk
  • Build trust: it demonstrates credibility to customers, investors, and partners

Why businesses choose Thinc for Cyber Essentials

Our Cyber Health Check does the hard part for you – scoping your systems, identifying gaps, and giving you a clear remediation plan aligned to Cyber Essentials requirements.

We’re Cyber Essentials Plus certified. If you need to secure a Cyber Essentials certificate quickly, we’ll make sure you get there on time.

  • Straightforward: we handle all the technical detail
  • Fast: remediation plan delivered in 5 working days
  • Clear: you’ll know exactly what to fix (and how)

What happens if you fail Cyber Essentials?

Businesses often fail Cyber Essentials because they have unsupported software (an automatic failure if the software’s in scope of the assessment). Otherwise, it’s because you haven’t remediated your cyber security in line with the Cyber Essentials five controls.

Our Cyber Health Check eliminates that risk. We scope your systems the way a Cyber Essentials assessor would. We identify exactly what’s non-compliant. Then we’ll give you a complete remediation report – and we can implement the actions for you.

  • We take the hassle out of preparing for Cyber Essentials
  • A full set of remediation actions to guarantee you’ll pass
  • We’ve never had a customer fail Cyber Essentials

Go further with Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials Plus is the externally verified version of Cyber Essentials. It’s the same controls, but with an in-person audit – so you can prove your security’s solid. That’s what your customers, potential buyers and insurers increasingly want to see.

Thinc is Cyber Essentials Plus certified – we can help you achieve it too. We work with CyberShelter – a Cyber Essentials certified body that will conduct your audit. By preparing with our Health Check and implementing our remediations, you’ll secure Cyber Essentials Plus.

  • Verify your cyber security with an externally audited certificate
  • Trusted proof for your clients, government contracts, and insurers
  • Boost your reputation as a secure business

Cyber Essentials frequently asked questions

After completing our Cyber Health Check and actioning your remediation report, you’ll have all the answers ready for the Cyber Essentials assessment.

It’s an online assessment which takes about an hour to complete. You can read the assessment questions here. We know these questions are in-depth and technical.

Take our ten-minute quiz to find out if you’ll pass or not.

The timeline varies depending on the remediations which we’ll recommend after your Cyber Health Check. Our Cyber Health Check delivers a comprehensive report within five working days, outlining necessary remediation steps. Once these are addressed, the certification process can proceed promptly.

For Cyber Essentials, after you pay the certificate fee you have 6 months to complete the assessment. Completing the assessment form using our remediation report will take around an hour. You’ll get the results within 3 working days.

We offer flexibility based on your needs. If your team has the capacity, we can provide guidance for internal remediation as part of the Cyber Health Check review.

Alternatively, our experts can manage the remediation process for you, ensuring compliance with Cyber Essentials requirements.

We’ve never had a customer fail Cyber Essentials after taking our Cyber Health Check and implementing our remediations.

We can’t completely guarantee that you’ll pass because it depends on whether you choose to implement our remediations before proceeding with the assessment.

Failing the assessment can delay contract opportunities and may impact your business’ reputation. Moreover, the assessment fee is non-refundable.

Our Cyber Health Check is designed to identify and address potential issues beforehand, so you’ve got confidence that you’ll pass on the first go.

Cyber Essentials (and Cyber Essentials Plus) certificates expire after 12 months. At this point you’ll need to redo the assessment.

Thinc takes the hassle out of staying certified – we handle the assessments and keep your security where it needs to be. Take our Cyber Health Check to get started.

Cyber Essentials Plus adds more scrutiny – your cyber security measures will be audited by an external certified body.

You still need to complete the Cyber Essentials self-assessment. The five controls still apply – but your Cyber Essentials Plus auditor will conduct a vulnerability scan and assess a random sample of your devices and systems. The in-person assessment adds an extra cost of around £500 – £1,000.

Cyber Essentials Plus provides a higher level of assurance for your clients and partners.

In addition to ensuring your organisation is protected against 99% of common cyber threats, Cyber Essentials can help lower cyber insurance premiums by demonstrating proactive risk management and is increasingly required for government contracts involving sensitive data.

Cyber Essentials also includes automatic cyber liability insurance for any UK organisation who certifies their whole organisation and has less than £20m annual turnover.

Depending on your current level of cyber security, you may need to invest in additional measures to meet the Cyber Essentials Plus standards.

This can involve software and device upgrades, installation of new cyber security technology, and employee training. Thinc’s experts will guide you through this to ensure you gain comprehensive cyber security.

You also need to achieve the Cyber Essentials certificate before pursuing Cyber Essentials Plus. Read our Cyber Essentials Plus guide for details on Cyber Essentials Plus requirements.
