What is Managed Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government‑backed scheme that protects your business against the most common cyber threats - but it's also a powerful piece of compliance currency. Many organisations now require CE or CE+ as a minimum "entry ticket" to their supply chain.
​
Freshcyber provides the vCISO leadership to build this standard for you. We don't just find the gaps; we take ownership of the implementation, policy development, and project management so you stay contract‑ready all year round.

Strategic Implementation & Roadmap
We don't just tell you what's wrong; we build the path to fix it. We conduct a full Gap Analysis and create a prioritised Plan of Action to ensure you hit your certification milestones without the guesswork.
The Outcome:
​
Clear Direction: A defined roadmap from where you are to where you need to be.
​
Risk-Based Priority: We focus on the high-impact gaps first to protect your firm quickly.
We split the "paperwork" from the "protection." While not all audits require a risk register, our vCISO team implements one to ensure you have a defensible security posture that stands up to the most rigorous enterprise due diligence.
The Outcome:
Defensible Governance: A live record of how you identify, track, and mitigate threats - proving to high-value clients that you take their data seriously.
​
Bespoke Policy Suite: We draft the "human" side of compliance (Acceptable Use, BYOD, Data Handling, etc.) so your team knows exactly how to stay secure.
