Cyber Essentials is a UK government backed IT Security standard which helps your business guard against 88% of all known types of cyber attack.
Certification reassures customers and other stakeholders that you take cyber security seriously – and many public and private sector contract tenders now require it.
With over 5 years experience in the cyber essentials scheme, we are qualified to help at every stage of the certification process.
Achieve Level 1 Cyber essentials certification in line with Lexcel 6.1
Lucid have supported us with Cyber Essentials annually since our initial application. The process looks daunting and for a non tech person much of it makes no sense. However with Lucids help the process is painless, straightforward and stress free. Thank you
Removing fear, keeping you and your business safe
Organisations assess themselves against five basic security controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.
While it is possible to complete Cyber Essentials with a self-certification questionnaire, the process can be challenging if you do not have a technical IT background, or a complex organisation structure. We help you every step of the way to get certified.
The Plus level of certification offers an additional level of assurance that the controls set out in the Cyber Essentials certification are effectively applied in practice. Plus assessment consists of an on site (or remote during the Covid crisis) assessment from a qualified assessor with specialist security scanning tools.
We review your existing IT policies and whether they meet the requirements of the standard. If your current policies need improvement, we provide you with access to our library of compliant template policies which meet the requirements of the standard.
Cyber Essentials Plus certification can be costly, and a failure can result in needing to pay for another assessment. We carry out a comprehensive gap analysis, with a detailed report with actions required to make your organisations ready for certification. This provides a high degree of confidence that you will pass on the first attempt.
