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.
We want to pass on our thanks to our URM assessor for helping us with the assessment. He made it really very straightforward for us during the remote sessions and during the follow ups to understand what we needed to do to remediate the issues and obtain the certification. He understood our setup and gave us relevant advice, it was a pleasure working with him.
