Talk to an Expert icon-arrow Frequently asked questions What is Cyber Essentials? Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cybersecurity framework that helps organizations protect against common online threats such as phishing, malware, and ransomware. It outlines five basic security controls that organizations must implement to reduce their risk and demonstrate a commitment to cybersecurity best practices. Why is Cyber Essentials important for businesses? Cyber Essentials certification proves that your organization has taken essential steps to secure your IT systems against common threats. It builds trust with customers, partners, and regulators, and is often required for companies bidding on UK government contracts or working in regulated sectors like healthcare, finance, and education. Who should get Cyber Essentials certification? Any organization that uses internet-connected systems should consider Cyber Essentials certification, especially if handling sensitive personal data, working with public sector clients, or looking to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. It’s particularly critical for SMEs, SaaS companies, fintech, and healthcare organizations operating in the UK. What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus? Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed certification where organizations complete a questionnaire to confirm they meet basic cybersecurity standards. Cyber Essentials Plus requires a third-party technical audit by an accredited assessor to validate the same controls, providing independent assurance of your cybersecurity practices. Can Thoropass help me prepare for Cyber Essentials Plus certification? While Thoropass cannot directly certify Cyber Essentials Plus, our platform prepares your organization for the independent assessment by ensuring all required controls are implemented correctly. We structure your documentation, evidence collection, and control validation to align with Plus assessment requirements. What automation does Thoropass provide for Cyber Essentials compliance? Thoropass automates evidence collection through 100+ integrations and provides continuous control monitoring. This significantly reduces manual work, speeds up readiness, and ensures a smooth audit or self-assessment experience.
