The scope of the Cyber Essentials Plus must be the same as the Cyber Essentials scope.
It is up to you how you want to segregate your infrastructure and which divisions you would like to exclude. The excluded or included parts of the infrastructure must be segregated by some means, e.g. a firewall or a physical boundary.
I just wanted to write to you to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work from URM’s assessor during the audit process. He demonstrated a fantastic level of knowledge and understanding, truly going above and beyond with the work that he performed, providing guidance in a communicative and enjoyable manner. It was a delight to work with him and I would be very excited to do the same again next year in our Cyber Essentials audit.
