Cyber Essentials Assessment

In order to achieve Cyber Essentials, your organisation will need to complete a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and a board member will also need to provide a signed declaration.  Your completed  SAQ will be reviewed by one of URM’s qualified assessors to ensure your organisation is conforming with all the requirements associated with the 5 control areas.  Once you have submitted your completed SAQ through the Cyber Essentials portal, you will be notified within 48 hours whether you have passed or not and, if successful, will receive your Cyber Essentials certificate.  This certificate is valid for 1 year.  Start your Cyber Essentials certification process and access the SAQ.

I know many Cyber Essentials providers are rigid to the point of not understanding the goal of CE, but we haven’t found that with URM. We are extremely happy with the service we’ve received – our Cyber Essentials recertifications are always painless and straightforward. The different assessors we’ve had have all been great and pitch to the right level, as well as having an extremely strong knowledge of the subject matter. The account management side is also excellent. Our Account Manager checks in with us on a regular basis, and is very approachable and credible, with a comprehensive understanding of Cyber Essentials.

I am pleased to share my experience with the Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) Scheme. This certification has been invaluable to Case Pilots in helping us protect ourselves from cyber threats. The comprehensive and user-friendly process provided by URM Consulting gave me a deep understanding of the latest threats, vulnerabilities and best practices in cyber security. The assessors were highly knowledgeable, experienced and able to explain each step of the process clearly and concisely. What I particularly appreciated about the CE+ scheme was its relevance to the real world. The training covered not only the fundamental principles, but also advanced techniques and strategies that are used by professionals to protect their systems and data. Achieving the certification demonstrates to our clients that we are committed to cyber security and that we have the knowledge and skills to protect their data. I highly recommend the Cyber Essentials Plus Scheme to any organisation that is serious about cyber security.
