What is Cyber Essentials?
A UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme administered by IASME on behalf of the NCSC. It validates that your organisation has implemented five core security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control, and malware protection. The current v3.3 requirements include mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cloud services and administrator accounts. For organisations needing same day Cyber Essentials, Fig Group is the only IASME-accredited body that delivers certification within hours, not days.
There are two certification levels. Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed questionnaire reviewed by an accredited assessor – ideal when you need same day certification for a tender deadline or client requirement. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an external technical audit with vulnerability scanning, typically taking 1–3 working days. Both levels are valid for 12 months and appear on the NCSC public register. Fig Group delivers same day Cyber Essentials as standard with no express surcharges.
