The scheme blocks around 80% of common attacks, it's increasingly required by contracts and insurers, and we make getting certified straightforward rather than daunting. Then we stay on to keep you protected.

FAQs
Cyber Essentials in Exeter — your questions
How long does Cyber Essentials take?
For a typical small business, a few weeks — quicker if your systems are already in decent shape. We handle the assessment and fix anything that needs fixing first, so you pass rather than fall at a hurdle.
What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment. Plus adds a hands-on technical audit by an assessor. Plus carries more weight with clients and insurers — we'll tell you straight which you need.
Do Exeter businesses actually need it?
If you bid for government or larger-company contracts, often yes. Even where it isn't required, it's the cheapest way to block the most common attacks — so it's worth having either way.
