Your options
Without technical or compliance expertise Cyber Essentials can be tough going. Your options are:
Go it alone
You can try and interpret the requirements of the scheme and application form yourself.
Consultancy
Consultants will typically charge you over £1,500+VAT to advise on the requirements.
Supercharged DIY
With the right knowledge and process you can undertake Cyber Essentials with little fuss.
How much does it cost?
There are three cost areas to consider:
Preparation
The cost in time or money to understand the requirements against your business.
Remediation
This might include buying anti-virus software if it's not already in place or if it's outdated.
Certification
There is a certification fee of £300+VAT, payable to a Certification Body*.
Worth knowing
Cyber Essentials creates a new administrative overhead.
Annual effort
The scheme's requirements might change mid-year, creating effort to understand changes.
Annual renewal
You have to recomplete the application form every 12-months; a pain when requirements change.
Annual expense
Getting a handle on the process early-on should reduce overall costs for long-term compliance.
