Cyber Essentials accreditation
IT Governance is a CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials certification body.
In 2020, the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) will implement some changes to the Cyber Essentials scheme to prepare it for the future. The current five Cyber Essentials accreditation bodies will be replaced by one. From 1 April 2020, The IASME Consortium will operate as the sole accreditation body for the scheme.
In support of this change, IT Governance will become an IASME-accredited certification body from April next year. We will continue providing the high level of cost-effective ongoing service our clients expect from us and will ensure the transition to the new arrangements is seamless. In the meantime, and in line with current arrangements supported by the NCSC, our clients will continue to be certified under CREST, and all existing and new certifications will continue to be valid and in line with current requirements.
Eliminate the hassle and expense of certification. Apply online today for your Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
IT Governance’s fixed-price solutions can help you achieve certification to either Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus at a pace and for a budget that suits you.
All Cyber Essentials certifications are managed through IT Governance’s Cyber Essentials online portal. This is a unique online service that enables companies to follow a convenient do-it-yourself approach, including managing and tracking the certification process.
Cyber Essentials
The Cyber Essentials certification process includes a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and an external vulnerability scan. This ensures that best practice is in place and that there are no known vulnerabilities present on the Internet-facing networks and applications.

“Cyber Essentials certification does a lot to target low hanging fruit, but it doesn’t cover all low hanging fruit attackers go after. Combining Cyber Essentials with phishing staff awareness training can reduce an organisation’s attack surface.
Enable your most important asset, your employee, to be more effective in securing your organisation to minimise the risk of a successful attack.”
- Geraint Williams, Chief Information Security Officer, GRC International Group
