What is the difference between Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials PLUS?
Cyber Essentials BASIC is a self-certification. This means that you’re asked to provide responses and evidence to a survey and the submission is marked by a certified board and assessed by IASME.
Cyber Essentials PLUS is the highest degree of certification and is a thorough test of your organisation's security. It includes an external vulnerability scan conducted by cyber security specialists who will check how strong your systems are against basic hacking. A certification Group will visit your office perform a test that is in line with the Cyber Essentials requirements.
