Common Questions About Cyber Essentials

What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus includes a physical verification of your security setup, offering greater assurance and compliance than the self-assessment required for Cyber Essentials.

Cyber Essentials: This certification is based on a self-assessment process verified by a trusted third party. It provides a solid foundation of security but relies on internal reporting.

Cyber Essentials Plus: A step up from the basic certification, Cyber Essentials Plus includes an on-site audit by the accrediting body. They physically verify your security setup, providing an even higher level of assurance that your systems are secure.

Regardless of which level you choose, The HBP Group ensures that your security measures are robust and in line with best practices.
