Cyber Essentials Webinar: Preparing for Montpellier v3.1

Are you aware of the changes and what they mean to you?

On 23 January 2023, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) published an updated set of requirements, version 3.1 of the Cyber Essentials Scheme which come into force on 24 April 2023.   The update forms part of the regular reviewing of the Scheme’s technical requirements by a team of experts, which is designed to ensure that Cyber Essentials remains effective in the ever-evolving threat landscape.  In line with the new requirements, a new question set ‘Montpellier’ will be introduced from 24 April to replace the current ’Evendine’ set.

As well as updating requirements, 24 April 2023 represents the end of the grace period for 3 of the requirements from the major 2022 update, i.e. multi-factor authentication (MFA),  removal of unsupported software and the need to support and secure all thin clients.

In this webinar, our experienced Cyber Essentials consultants will guide you through:

• All key changes being introduced on 24 April
• What those changes mean to you
• How best to prepare for your CE and CE+ annual assessments
• Pitfalls to avoid when undertaking your certification assessments
• Tips to further improve your cyber security by implementing non-compulsory controls.

This webinar is applicable to those organisations which are already certified or are in the process of certifying to CE or CE+
