Ten Years of Cyber Essentials

A decade of protecting UK businesses - and still going strong.

A Proven Standard with a Decade of Impact

Cyber Essentials is now more than ten years old and, in the decade since it was launched, the protective framework it provides has helped thousands of businesses.

With half a dozen assessors at Secarma, including Jen Williams who has been assessing Cyber Essentials for more than nine years, our team is able to help pretty much any organisation through the standard to a successful certification.

Trusted Assessors with a 99.4% Success Rate

With a 99.4% success rate, our assessors take their responsibility very seriously. Their blend of technical expertise and customer service means they are able to support clients with a diverse range of experience from CISOs through to office managers.

Over one third of the certifications that we’ve done in recent times are at the higher level – meaning that more businesses are electing to complete Cyber Essentials Plus as they recognise the competitive value of the standard within their industry.

Turning Certification into Lasting Value
Turning Certification into Lasting Value

Not only do organisations validate their work and prove compliance to their industry but they also gain knowledge from the scanning and analysis that is run across their systems. Our assessors are trained to share these findings in a digestible way at all levels whether technical or even at C-suite.

If you’ve not done Cyber Essentials before or are looking to re-certify and gain more value from the process, then Secarma can support you from question one right through to successful achievement of the standard.
