Understand the Accreditations
The initial level of Cyber Essentials certification is delivered through SecurePortal as a self-assessment questionnaire that covers the five technical controls and then an external vulnerability scan of your external facing network.
You are assessed against the answers to your questionnaire and the results of the external Penetration Test. Stage 1 certification awards the Cyber Essentials accreditation and the associated use of the logo.
The more advanced level of Cyber Essentials certification relies upon the same protections as Stage 1 but the certification is carried out on your business premises and also includes an internal vulnerability scan of a common workstation build.
Your antivirus protections both via the web and email are manually tested whilst onsite to ensure that your tools of choice are protecting the level of cybersecurity required to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus.
You are assessed against the answers to your questionnaire and the results of the external vulnerability scan. Stage 2 certification awards the Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation and the associated use of the logo.
In order to achieve Stage 2 certification, you have to first achieve Stage 1 certification.
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on the basics by offering independent verification of your cyber security measures. Unlike the standard Cyber Essentials, Plus includes hands-on testing by experts, ensuring your defenses are not just in place but effective.
Without it, businesses risk exposure to advanced threats and may struggle to prove compliance with GDPR or other regulations. CE Plus gives clients and stakeholders confidence that your systems can withstand real-world cyber attacks.
It also strengthens your position in competitive markets, especially where robust security is required for contracts or partnerships. More than a certification, Cyber Essentials Plus is a clear signal of trust, resilience, and commitment to cyber security.
