Cyber Essentials Plus - Medium
Cyber Essentials Plus certification for medium organisations with 50 to 249 staff. Full third-party technical audit including vulnerability scans and configuration checks. Required by many government frameworks and large enterprise supply chains.
Complete Plus within three months of your same-scope Cyber Essentials certificate. Check the scheme requirements.
How does it work
The CE Plus engagement, end to end
- You need a Cyber Essentials certificate covering the same scope, with the Plus assessment completed within three months of that certificate. Fig Group can provide the Cyber Essentials self-assessment as a separate purchase if needed.
- Once your purchase goes through, Fig Group schedules the external vulnerability scan and the remote technical audit with your IASME-licensed assessor.
- The external vulnerability scan runs against your internet-facing devices and services. Findings are shared with you ahead of the audit so anything material can be remediated first.
- The remote technical audit covers a representative device sample, malware protection, MFA enforcement, and patching posture - confirmed by video and screen share.
- If your organisation passes the technical assessment, Fig Compliance Ltd issues your Cyber Essentials Plus certificate directly to your organisation.
- If a control needs work, your assessor will tell you what to fix rather than scoring you non-compliant on the first attempt.
- One formal retest within 30 days of the initial assessment is included unless your Order Form states otherwise. Further retests are charged at the prevailing rate.
- All findings must be resolved within the scheme deadline, including the three-month Cyber Essentials window. Certification requires a pass; the Basic service’s three feedback rounds are separate from a formal Plus retest.

Payment was quick, and the online assessment questions were clear and easy to understand. Whenever additional information or clarification was required, the feedback process was very good. Our certificate was issued promptly, and we received both a digital certificate and confirmation documentation immediately. A special mention goes to Jay Hopkins, Managing Director of FIG Group, who was extremely helpful throughout the process. In addition to guiding us through Cyber Essentials certification, he also provided valuable advice regarding other certifications we are considering. If you are looking for a responsive provider for Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification, I would highly recommend FIG Group. Based on our experience, they are one of the best providers we encountered during our search.”

“Jay at the Fig group was very helpful in helping my small business though our certification process. He got straight in contact even though it was out of hours and supported me in answering the questions. He even came and looked at some of our equipment when I wasn't sure (can't guarantee that kind of service for everyone!). He went above and beyond and I cannot recommend him enough.”
“The process was extremely efficient: short phone call, submission, pass. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent Service, Professional handling and support, the best for fast track”
“Genuinely impressed with the Cyber Essentials experience via Fig Group. As a two-director UK tech company, we wanted certification done properly rather than superficially. The assessor, Jay Hopkins, was precise, fair, and constructive throughout, the feedback we received on our first submission was proportionate and gave us a clear path to remediation rather than a blanket rejection. The whole process from registration to certificate took under a week, and the end result is a real uplift in our security posture, not just a box-ticking exercise. The free cyber liability insurance included for businesses under £20m turnover is a meaningful additional benefit. Highly recommended for any UK SME looking to take cyber security seriously.”
“Purchased a cyber essentials self assessment. Turned it around in under 2 hours. Great team.”
