What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is an addendum to Cyber Essentials and is aimed at ensuring that all the controls highlighted in the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questionnaire are in place.

Cyber Essentials Plus does not contain any additional requirements when compared to Cyber Essentials.

The speed of response from our URM Account Manager was stunning, and the speed and helpfulness of our assessor was very impressive.
