Buying contexts
When you need Cyber Essentials
Three buying contexts where certification is most often required.
Public sector
Government contracts
Procurement Policy Note 014 explains when in-scope public bodies should require Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus or equivalent controls. Check the tender for the required certification, scope and deadline. It is not a blanket requirement for every government contract.
Private sector
Supply chains and insurance
Customers may request Cyber Essentials as part of supplier due diligence. A certificate helps demonstrate baseline controls within its stated scope. Insurers set their own terms; certification does not guarantee cover or reduced premiums. Explore insurance-related evidence.
Higher value
When Cyber Essentials Plus is preferred
For higher-value or higher-risk contracts, Cyber Essentials Plus is increasingly preferred because it adds third-party verification rather than self-assessment alone. If you are bidding for government work or higher-tier supply chain roles, speak to our team about the right certification level.
Free readiness check

Use our self-assessment tool to identify gaps before formal certification.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Cyber Essentials.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme focused on five technical control areas: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security update management. It addresses common internet-based threats, not every aspect of cyber security.
How much does Cyber Essentials cost?
Fig Cyber Essentials starts at £299.99 + VAT. Select the staff count of the organisation being certified to see the correct price. Cyber Essentials Plus and the combined package are priced separately.
How quickly will Fig review my assessment?
Fig provides a six-working-hour guarantee for complete, compliant Cyber Essentials Basic submissions through the prescribed process before midday UK time on a UK business day. Submissions requiring clarification or remediation are excluded. Preparation and any work needed to address gaps are separate from the review. Cyber Essentials Plus involves a separately scheduled technical audit.
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials uses an assessor-reviewed self-assessment. Plus adds technical testing against the same controls. The underlying Cyber Essentials certificate must cover the same scope, and the Plus assessment must take place within three months of achieving it.
What does the combined package include?
The package includes Cyber Essentials self-assessment and assessor review, followed by the Cyber Essentials Plus technical audit. Each certification is awarded only when its assessment requirements are met.
How long is a Cyber Essentials certificate valid?
Certification lasts 12 months. Renew annually to maintain a current certificate; controls must continue to be maintained between assessments.
Can my MSP complete the questionnaire for us?
Your MSP can help prepare and complete the self-assessment on your behalf. Your organisation must review and authorise the submission and provide the required sign-off in the assessment portal. Responsibility for accurate answers remains with your organisation.
What changed in April 2026?
Version 3.3 clarifies cloud scope and authentication requirements. Available cloud MFA must be used, including paid options. The applicable question set is tied to account creation; check your assessment portal rather than assuming every submission uses the newest version.
Is Cyber Essentials required for every government contract?
No. PPN 014 sets out the approach for in-scope public procurement. The tender specifies the required certification or equivalent controls, scope and timing. Other customers may set their own contractual requirements.
What happens if my answers need clarification?
Fig includes three rounds of assessor feedback at no extra cost. Review the guidance, make any necessary changes to your controls and update your answers before resubmitting. Buying an assessment does not guarantee a pass.
Does Cyber Essentials replace ISO 27001 or insurance?
No. ISO 27001 addresses an information security management system, while Cyber Essentials focuses on five technical control areas. Insurance cover and premiums are determined separately by insurers.
Further guidance
Open the topics relevant to your organisation. Pricing, assessment and the readiness checker remain above.
Cyber Essentials v3.3 changes
Effective 27 April 2026Cyber Essentials v3.3
A key requirement: multi-factor authentication for cloud services wherever it is available, including paid options.
The April 2026 update ties the question set to when the assessment account is created, not when it is submitted. Existing accounts can continue with their assigned question set during their completion window. Check the version shown in your portal.
Mandatory MFA
Where a cloud service offers MFA, it must be enabled. The requirement includes free, included and paid options. Under the updated marking criteria, failing to enable available cloud MFA causes the assessment to fail.
Updated Scope Rules
Define the organisation, devices and services being certified using the current requirements. Include relevant personally owned devices used for organisational work; do not assume remote working removes them from scope.
Cloud Service Obligations
Cloud services that store or process organisational data cannot simply be excluded. Establish which security responsibilities belong to your provider and which remain with your organisation.
Technical preparation guides
Cyber Essentials v3.3 MFA Requirement: What You Need to Know
Cyber Essentials v3.3 requires MFA wherever it is available and always for cloud services. Here is what the rule covers, what triggers an automatic fail, and how to prepare.
The 14-Day Patching Rule: What It Actually Says and How to Stay Compliant
The 14-day patching requirement is the single most common reason Cyber Essentials submissions fail first time. Here is what the rule actually says, when the clock starts, and how to evidence compliance when users are on holiday, vendors are slow, and legacy systems will not update.
Cyber Essentials Firewall Requirements: What Assessors Actually Check
The firewall question looks simple but fails more submissions than people expect. This guide covers boundary firewalls, software firewalls, what v3.3 (Danzell) actually says about home routers for remote workers, default credentials, and the cloud firewall configuration assessors expect in 2026.
Secure Configuration for Cyber Essentials: The Controls Assessors Expect to See
Secure configuration is the control area with the broadest scope and the most room for getting details wrong. This guide covers default passwords, auto-run, unnecessary software, cloud service configuration, and the specific settings assessors check against v3.3 (effective 27 April 2026).
Malware Protection for Cyber Essentials: What Qualifies and What Does Not
Malware protection looks simple - "we have antivirus" - but the question set asks specifically about configuration, coverage, and fallback approaches. This guide covers what qualifies under v3.3, including the application allow-listing alternative and the most common mistakes during assessment.
MFA for Microsoft 365: the Cyber Essentials v3.3 configuration
Configure Microsoft 365 MFA for Cyber Essentials v3.3: Security Defaults and Conditional Access, current number matching, administrator recovery and evidence of enforcement.

Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001
Start here
Cyber Essentials
Five core security control categories - access control, patch management, secure configuration, malware protection, and firewalls. This work can support a broader information security programme, but Cyber Essentials is not equivalent to ISO 27001 certification.
Practical, achievable first step. Certification in 6 working hours for complete, compliant Basic submissions before midday UK time on a UK business day.
Progress to
ISO 27001
The international standard for information security management. Reuse your Cyber Essentials evidence and controls as a foundation, reducing duplication and shortening the path to certification.
When your business requirements demand a broader ISMS, your Cyber Essentials work already counts.
Fig supports broader compliance requirements - ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR, SOC 2, CMMC and more.

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.”
