Cyber Essentials certification in London
— common questions
Q.What is Cyber Essentials certification UK?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed cyber security certification scheme operated by IASME on behalf of the NCSC. It certifies that your organisation has the five basic security controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. Cyber Essentials Basic uses self-assessment reviewed by a certifying body; Cyber Essentials Plus involves independent technical verification by an IASME assessor. Certification is valid for 12 months and must be renewed annually. It is required for UK government contracts and NHS supply chains, and increasingly expected by enterprise buyers.
Q.Can you provide Cyber Essentials certification in London?
Yes. Coreitech is based at London Bridge, SE1 and provides Cyber Essentials certification support across all London areas. We work with businesses in the City of London, West End, Canary Wharf, Southwark, Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, and all other London areas. Both remote and on-site support is available for London-based organisations.
Q.How quickly can a London business get Cyber Essentials certified?
For London businesses already using Microsoft 365 and with reasonable security practices in place, Cyber Essentials certification can often be achieved within 2–3 weeks. If significant gaps exist — such as no MFA, unpatched systems, or missing firewall configuration — it typically takes 4–8 weeks. Coreitech's London-based engineers can work on-site to accelerate remediation where needed.
Q.Do London businesses need Cyber Essentials certification?
Any London business that supplies the UK government, works in the NHS supply chain, or sells to enterprise clients that mandate it will need Cyber Essentials certification. Beyond contractual requirements, Cyber Essentials is increasingly expected by professional services buyers as evidence of baseline cyber security. London businesses in law, financial services, recruitment, and accountancy are seeing growing demand for Cyber Essentials from their own clients.
Q.Do you offer on-site Cyber Essentials support in London?
Yes. Coreitech provides on-site Cyber Essentials support across Central London and Greater London. Our engineers are London-based and can attend your office to conduct gap assessments, configure devices, and support the technical remediation needed for certification. This is particularly valuable for businesses that have complex on-premise environments or multiple office locations.
Q.What sectors do you serve for Cyber Essentials in London?
Coreitech provides Cyber Essentials certification support for London businesses across all major sectors: law firms, financial services and FCA-regulated businesses, accountancy practices, healthcare and dental, recruitment agencies, estate agents, technology companies, media and creative agencies, charities, and general professional services.
Q.What is the cost of Cyber Essentials certification for a London SME?
The IASME assessment fee for Cyber Essentials Basic is currently £300+VAT for organisations with fewer than 99 employees. Coreitech charges separately for our London-based support — gap assessment, remediation, and pre-submission review. Total cost depends on your current security posture.
