How we get you ready
Scoping
Agree the systems, services and criteria in scope, and whether a Type 1 or Type 2 report fits your customers and timeline.
Readiness assessment
Map existing controls to the criteria, identify gaps and design missing controls with owners and evidence.
Remediation
Put policies, tooling and processes in place, and rehearse evidence collection so it is routine, not a scramble.
Assessment coordination
We help you engage an accredited Cyber Essentials certification body, prepare the evidence and support you through the assessment and any follow-up actions.
Observation period and report
For Type 2, we monitor controls through the observation window and help you respond to exceptions before the report is issued.
