Your Cyber Essentials
journey starts here
As a Certification Body and an IT services provider, we certify and operate
organisations to the UK Government backed standard. So you’re in safe hands.
The scheme consists of a self-assessed questionnaire designed to evaluate whether your IT meets the required government standard of security. Once completed, the questionnaire is reviewed by a qualified assessor who will issue a pass or fail certification.
We appreciate that IT is confusing, complex and often filled with jargon. For this reason, our solution is guided and provides upfront consultancy time to explain everything you need to know for getting Cyber Essentials ready, then once you are ready, we’ll be on hand to carry out the assessment.
Cyber Essentials Plus delivers the same assessment as Cyber Essentials, but in addition a qualified assessor will audit the IT to add assurance that the required standards are being met.
We recommend this option for companies that are looking to have complete peace of mind their business is cyber secure and meeting the government standard, it’s also a great certification to prove this to your customers.
Why your business needs Cyber Essentials
Getting certified is a great way to know that your business is following government guidance on security standards, giving you peace of mind your network and data is secure.
Simply being certified will:
Prevent 80% of cyber attacks
Show your customers you take cyber security seriously
Give you up to £25k free cyber insurance
Allow you to tender for Government contracts
Helps towards GDPR compliance

Client review
As a payroll services provider, the security of our IT is a top priority.
I often see articles about security breaches, but day-to-day it seems so intangible. We wanted to find a way to prove to ourselves and our customers that the necessary security controls are in place to ensure our data was protected at all times.
This is where bzb IT come in, they’re our outsourced IT support provider and also qualified to carry out Cyber Essentials Plus assessments. This was a win-win for us, they already manage our infrastructure, and we have a great relationship with the whole team.
They were able to take care of the entire process for us and they didn’t let anything slip through the net. The assessment highlighted an issue we needed to resolve, which they also took care of for us.
Once again, having successfully passed Cyber Essentials Plus certification, we can proudly prove to all our customers we take the necessary steps to ensure security of their data at all times.
Thanks bzb IT team!
