Cyber Essentials Training Day – Edinburgh

Cyber Essentials Training Day – We're Coming to Scotland!

Understand the requirements. Prepare with confidence. Know your next steps.

Following the fantastic feedback from our Cyber Essentials training days in Manchester and London, we're bringing our free, in-person training to Scotland!

We know how valuable it can be to sit down with experienced assessors, ask questions and work through the requirements together. That's why we're taking these sessions to more locations across the UK, making practical Cyber Essentials guidance as accessible as possible.

Join us at The Place Hotel in Edinburgh on Tuesday 3 November 2026, from 10am to 4pm, for a free, interactive Cyber Essentials training day.

Whether you're working towards your first certification or preparing for your next renewal, our experienced assessors will help you understand the latest Danzell updates, what they mean for your organisation and how to approach certification with confidence.

What We'll Cover

Throughout the day, we'll work through the five Cyber Essentials technical controls, sharing practical examples, common challenges and lessons from real assessments.

We'll explore:

• Understanding Danzell: What's changed since Willow and where requirements need closer attention.
• Getting your scope right: Understanding legal entities, cloud services and remote working.
• Checking your technical controls: Reviewing multi-factor authentication coverage and patch management processes.
• Preparing for Cyber Essentials Plus: Understanding the updated sampling requirements and what to expect during assessment.
• Maintaining certification readiness: Keeping controls working effectively between certification and renewal.

More Than Just a Training Session

It's not just about understanding the requirements. It's about knowing how to put them into practice.

There'll be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, discuss your own organisation's challenges and learn from others going through the same process.

Our aim is for everyone to leave with practical knowledge, greater confidence and clear next steps to take back to their team or IT provider.

Why Join Secarma?

At Secarma, we believe cybersecurity guidance should be practical, understandable and accessible.

Our experienced assessors work with organisations at different stages of their cybersecurity journey, helping them understand certification requirements, address common challenges and build confidence in their approach.

This is an opportunity to learn directly from the people who assess Cyber Essentials, ask the questions that matter to your organisation and leave with advice you can put into practice.

Join Us in Edinburgh

The training is completely free, with lunch and refreshments included.

We're keeping places limited so the day remains interactive and everyone has the opportunity to speak with our assessors.

We're looking forward to meeting more organisations in Scotland and helping make Cyber Essentials clearer, more manageable and accessible to everyone.

Spaces are limited, so book your free place and join us on Tuesday 3 November!
