Frequently Asked Questions
What is *Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that defines the baseline security controls small and medium-sized organisations should have in place to protect against common cyber threats. It focuses on practical areas such as access control, secure configuration, patching, malware protection, and network security, helping organisations reduce risk and demonstrate a commitment to cybersecurity. Read more here.
Does my organisation need ISO 27001 certification?
Not usually. ISO/IEC 27001 is a comprehensive information security standard, but it is not a requirement for most SMEs. Many organisations start with more proportionate frameworks, such as Cyber Essentials, which focus on the core controls needed to protect against common threats.
ISO 27001 is typically pursued where there are specific contractual, regulatory, or market expectations, for example, when working with larger enterprises or in highly regulated sectors. For many smaller organisations, demonstrating strong baseline controls and clear cybersecurity practices is both appropriate and sufficient.
If needed, Cyber Essentials can also act as a practical and much more cost-effective stepping stone towards more advanced standards like ISO 27001 in the future.
Is this the same as Cyber Essentials certification?
No. This consultancy supports you in preparing for Cyber Essentials, but does not itself provide certification. We help you understand the requirements, address gaps, and approach the assessment with confidence.
Do you guarantee Cyber Essentials certification?
No. Certification is awarded by an external certification body. Our role is to guide you through preparation, helping ensure your controls and responses are aligned with the requirements before submission. In our premium tier, our service includes collation of your data and inputting it into the Cyber Essentials application, but again, we do not guarantee certification.
How long does the process take?
This depends on your current setup and level of support required. Some organisations move from audit to readiness in a few weeks, while others take a more phased approach. We work at a pace that is realistic for your team.
What level of internal involvement is needed?
Typically, input is needed from someone with oversight of systems, devices, and day-to-day operations. We keep this proportionate and structured, minimising disruption while ensuring we have the information needed to support you effectively.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. For best results, we prefer to work alongside internal IT teams or external providers. Our role is to provide structure, clarity, and guidance, not to replace your existing technical support.
Is this suitable for small teams or non-technical businesses?
Absolutely! The CyberCraft consultancy is designed specifically for SMEs, including those without in-house cybersecurity expertise. Guidance is provided in plain English, with a focus on practical, achievable improvements. Our pricing starts at teams with fewer than 5 technical staff.
What happens if we’re not ready yet?
That’s completely normal. The process is designed to identify gaps and prioritise improvements, so you can build readiness over time rather than rushing into assessment unprepared. Each of our services are designed to bolt onto the former, so even if you only opt for the audit and report, you'll walk away with specific insight into gaps in your organisation's cybersecurity processes and next steps to fill them.
