Smart Cyber Services
Cyber Essentials certification, with year-round protection built in.
With the ever-increasing external threat landscape, no business is out of target range from cyber criminals. Cyber Essentials is the minimum standard of cyber security recommended by the Government for organisations of all sizes. We deliver it in partnership with CyberSmart, the UK’s leading certification body.
Why Cyber Essentials
The Government-backed baseline your customers now ask for.
Cyber Essentials protects you from 98.5% of the most common cyber threats. It is increasingly a condition of tenders, supply chains and cyber insurance, and since the director declaration was updated a board-level representative must confirm the controls will be maintained throughout the certification period.
Win and keep contracts
Larger customers, frameworks and public sector buyers increasingly expect Cyber Essentials from their suppliers.
Protect the business
The five core controls stop the everyday attacks that catch most small businesses out.
Insurance included
Successful certification includes optional £25k cyber insurance cover for eligible organisations.
Year-round, not once a year
Continuous monitoring keeps every device compliant between renewals, so the director declaration is one you can stand behind.
Cyber Essentials Core
What the Core package includes.
Year-round compliance with Cyber Essentials, so the business can meet the updated director declaration and keep the controls in place for the whole certification period, not just on the day of the assessment.
Cyber Essentials certification
One Cyber Essentials certificate within any 12 month period, with unlimited submissions at no extra cost and unlimited guidance from CyberSmart’s IASME-accredited experts. Includes optional £25k cyber insurance cover.
Active Protect
Always-on device protection and compliance, with continuous monitoring, built-in training and smart policy management, all delivered from a single, easy-to-use platform. Works on desktop and mobile, including staff-owned devices.
Patch
Automatic patching for hundreds of popular third-party applications on Windows and Mac. Patch one device, several, or the whole organisation, with full visibility of what was updated and when.
Optional insurance upgrade
If you want to extend the included £25k Cyber Essentials insurance to gain additional cover, discounted bespoke cyber insurance is available through CyberSmart’s trusted brokers, Sutcliffe & Co.
How it works
From first conversation to certificate.
We scope the business with you, get the platform on your devices, close the gaps it finds, and submit the assessment. Most of the work is done for you.

A short call to confirm the size of the business, the devices in use and any customer deadline.
Protect
Active Protect and Patch go on every device and show exactly what needs fixing.
Certify
The self-assessment is submitted through CyberSmart, with unlimited resubmissions until you pass.
Maintain
Continuous monitoring keeps you compliant for the year, ready for a straightforward renewal.
