Cyber Essentials Plus Certification
Become plus certified and be fully confident of your organisational security
Moving to the next level of Cybersecurity, Cyber Essentials Plus backs up your security stance via physical auditing of your systems. This includes a remote audit of your systems to check for vulnerabilities and an external test to check your networks security against remote threats. Sound Networks can provide consultancy to assist you through the complete process from self-assessment to remote auditing. We will work to address any security gaps before the external audit, meaning your chances of a successful certification are increased significantly.
Cyber Essentials Plus provides a greater level of confidence for businesses looking for best in class protection
Although Cyber Essentials provides a strong baseline of cybersecurity, Cyber Essentials Plus provides a much higher level of confidence for those businesses that require higher levels of protection. A government-backed initiative which takes things one step further than just a self-assessment. Cyber Essentials Plus certification includes a thorough technical audit to confirm the required IT security controls are in place and working effectively.
- Initial scan when we start working with you.
- Second scan one week before audit.
- Third vulnerability scan within 24 hours of audit.
- Remote audit of PC’s, network security and client PC configuration.
- A follow up scan before the reassessment process starts.
