Cyber Essentials Plus

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus maintains the simplicity of the Cyber Essentials approach. The required safeguards are the same as for Cyber Essentials, but an assessor will conduct a technical audit of your systems to ensure that the controls are present and functioning properly.

How Provention prepares you for audit

By executing internal, external scans and scanning a pool of end-user devices, we generate a vulnerability report that will outline issues found. A vulnerability report will highlight high and critical issues requiring attention. By leveraging our expertise, you can ensure compliance and be audit-ready. Our specialists can be on hand to liaise with the auditor during the process.
