Cyber Essentials Certification

Which Certification is Right For You?

Cyber Essentials

Ideal for small businesses starting their security journey. Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed certification that proves you have the basic security controls in place. It helps you quickly meet supply chain requirements, demonstrate commitment to cyber security, and quickly build trust with clients and partners.



Cyber Essentials Plus

The gold standard for SMEs wanting to stand out in competitive tenders and win larger contracts. CE+ includes an independent, hands-on assessment to verify your controls. It provides stronger client assurance, reduces cyber insurance costs, and proves your business takes security seriously - giving you a real competitive edge.

A Unique Approach to Cyber Essentials

Why Choose FreshCyber?

Most providers see Cyber Essentials as a once-a-year checkbox. We don’t.

Manage Cyber Essentials Effortlessly in One Place – Win Contracts, Build Trust.

At FreshCyber, we include 12 months of vulnerability scanning by default in every package - not as one off scans to get you through the audit like most providers. That means ongoing visibility of risks, all year round.


Your subscription includes internal and external scans (with CE+), daily threat intelligence updates, and access to your own portal to track results, manage documentation, and download your certificate anytime. Best of all, you’ll get ongoing expert support from us every step of the way.


It’s not just about passing the audit - it’s about staying secure, proving your commitment to clients and partners, and making recertification next year even easier.

Protect Your Business Year-Round With

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus

With built-in continuous vulnerability scanning, FreshCyber’s Cyber Essentials Plus service keeps you aligned with certification requirements all year. Stay secure, avoid surprises at renewal, and make recertification a breeze.

Key Features:

  • Continuous Internal Vulnerability Scanning
    Cyber Essentials Plus requires proof that your internal systems are secure. Our always-on scanning identifies misconfigurations and vulnerabilities from an insider’s perspective, helping you maintain compliance and reduce the risk of breaches all year round.
  • Continuous External Vulnerability Scanning
    Attackers often target your external-facing systems first. We proactively monitor your IPs to catch weaknesses before they’re exploited, giving you the evidence you need to meet CE+ requirements and prove robust perimeter security
  • Configuration Assessment
    Poorly configured devices and systems are a leading cause of breaches. We help validate and improve your settings to meet CE+ standards, reducing the risk of exploitation and demonstrating your commitment to strong security practices.
  • Ongoing Expert Support
    Cyber Essentials Plus isn’t a one-off checkbox - it’s a commitment to continuous security. We guide you every step of the way, helping address issues as they arise, simplify recertification, and ensure you stay audit-ready with confidence.
