Whether you’re preparing for your first assessment or renewing an existing certification, the session will help you understand what to check and how to prepare.

What You’ll Learn

We’ll work through the five technical controls, explain the Danzell updates and explore what they mean in practice.

The day will cover:

• Understanding the changes: what’s changed since Willow, what’s been clarified and where marking is stricter
• Getting your scope right: legal entities, cloud services, remote working and excluded networks
• Multi-factor authentication: understanding MFA requirements and checking coverage across cloud services and accounts
• Patch management: meeting the 14-day requirement for relevant security updates and vulnerability fixes
• Preparing for Cyber Essentials Plus: understanding the updated sampling requirements and what they mean for remediation
• Lessons from assessments: common misunderstandings, preparation gaps and how to address them
• Maintaining compliance: keeping controls working between certification and renewal

What You'll Take Away

By the end of the day, you’ll have:

• A clearer understanding of Cyber Essentials and the Danzell updates
• A better understanding of what assessors expect
• Guidance on checking your scope, MFA coverage and update processes
• Clear next steps for certification or renewal
• More confidence to coordinate the work with colleagues or your IT provider

Why Learn with Secarma?

Secarma is a Cyber Essentials Certification Body. Our assessors work directly with organisations preparing for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, so the guidance comes from experience of the assessment process.

We’re seeing closer scrutiny of scoping, including legal entities, and the updated CE+ sampling requirements are highlighting the importance of reliable patch management processes. We’ll explain what those observations mean for your preparation.

Our Manchester sessions have shown how much people value time with an experienced assessor and clear guidance they can take back to work. Bringing these sessions to London means more people can access that support closer to home.

Why Choose This Workshop?

Learn directly from Cyber Essentials assessors who help organisations prepare for certification and renewal every day.

We’ll bring the Danzell requirements to life through worked examples and lessons from assessments, explaining what to check, where misunderstandings arise and how to address them.

Whether you’re preparing for your first certification or your next renewal, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what assessors expect and the next steps for your organisation.
