Cyber Essentials Accreditation
As an official Cyber Essentials Certification Body, we provide end-to-end guidance, gap analysis, and auditing to secure your business against modern cyber threats.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is an annually renewable certification scheme aligned to the UK Government's minimum baseline standard for cyber security for organisations of all sizes. The scheme is centred around five technical controls proven to protect any organisation from the most common internet-based cyber security threats.
The Two Levels of Certification
Cyber Essentials
A foundational, self-assessment questionnaire that covers five key technical controls. We review and verify your submission to ensure you meet the required standard.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Includes all elements of the foundational level but integrates an incredibly thorough hands-on technical audit. Our certified assessors will independently verify that your security controls are actively defending against real-world attacks.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that shows an organisation has the five core technical controls in place to defend against the most common cyber attacks. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit of those controls.
What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment: you complete the questionnaire and we review it as an accredited certification body. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same five controls but adds a hands-on technical audit, where an assessor independently tests your systems to confirm the controls are working.
Does my business need Cyber Essentials?
It is increasingly expected in supply chains and is mandatory to bid for many UK public sector contracts. Beyond winning work, it gives you a recognised baseline of security and can help reduce cyber insurance premiums.
How much does Cyber Essentials certification cost?
Cyber Essentials starts at £320 for micro organisations (0–9 people) and scales with size up to £600 for large organisations (250+). Cyber Essentials Plus starts from £1,050. All prices exclude VAT and are based on your organisation size, with large organisations priced per quote based on scope.
How long does Cyber Essentials certification take?
A prepared organisation can typically certify within one to two weeks. As an accredited certification body, TheLogic handles the assessment and provides remediation support so you pass first time.
