What's New?

Client contracts increasingly demand proof of security. Cyber Essentials was updated in April 2026 with stricter checks: MFA is now mandatory on every cloud service, patches must land within 14 days, and directors sign a stronger personal declaration. If you haven’t reviewed your setup since the update, you may already be short of the standard.

A simple approach to business protection

The way we operate is simple. We start by auditing your existing system. This will include your hardware, software and internal processes.

We then build a picture of your current security posture and identify areas that require improvement. We then suggest solutions to reduce risk.

Many businesses we work with are asked to assure their clients that they operate to recognised security standards like Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus.

We can help you through every step of the accreditation process.

FAQs

Do I need Cyber Essentials if I'm a small agency?

Yes. Most client contracts and cyber insurance policies now expect it regardless of headcount, and it’s the fastest way to prove you take security seriously.

What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed questionnaire. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit, so it carries more weight with clients and insurers.

Is ISO 27001 worth it for a firm under 200 people?

It depends on your clients. If procurement teams or larger contracts ask for it by name, yes. If not, Cyber Essentials Plus usually covers what your clients need.

What counts as next-gen antivirus, and do I already have it?

Next-gen antivirus watches for suspicious behaviour, not just known viruses. Standard Microsoft Defender on default settings usually isn’t enough on its own.

Do I need penetration testing if I already have Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials checks your baseline configuration. Penetration testing actively tries to break in, which is what larger clients and cyber insurance underwriters increasingly ask for.

What happens if my agency doesn't have any of this in place yet?

Most businesses can start with a Cyber Check, then work through the gaps in order of risk rather than trying to fix everything at once.

How does Cyber Check work, and is it free?

It’s a free 14-question self-assessment. You get a personalised report against five key areas, and the only thing we ask for is an email address to send it to.

Is Bcorp related to cyber security, or a separate accreditation?

It’s separate. Bcorp certifies your business’s overall social and environmental practice, not your cyber security. We mention it here because clients sometimes ask about both together.
