Cyber Essentials Plus
The same five controls as Cyber Essentials, but independently tested rather than self-assessed.
Where standard Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment questionnaire, Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit — an assessor actually tests your systems against the five controls rather than taking your word for it. It carries more weight for clients and contracts that need real assurance, not just a certificate.
