How long do you have to complete and submit a Cyber Essentials assessment?

You have 6 months to complete your assessment before your account is archived. Unfortunately, a refund cannot be issued, so it is best not to apply until you think you are ready for your assessment.

URM consulting were fantastic to work with. Their expert support and friendly efficiency made achieving our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation smooth and stress-free. It's reassuring to know that we have a reliable local consultancy that we can count on for ongoing support.
