CYBER ESSENTIALS
SURREY

Surrey is home to a large concentration of professional services firms, technology companies, defence contractors, and NHS-linked suppliers — all of whom increasingly require Cyber Essentials certification from their supply chain partners.

Beyond contractual compliance, Cyber Essentials protects Surrey businesses against 80% of common cyber attacks by enforcing five critical security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. For the v3.3 (2026) requirements — including mandatory MFA on all cloud services and strict 14-day patching — professional consultant support is strongly recommended.

Coreitech's NCSC-assured consultants have delivered Cyber Essentials certification to 200+ UK businesses with a 100% first-time pass rate. We handle the full process: gap analysis, remediation, SAQ completion, and certification submission — fixed-price, no surprises.

Cyber Essentials Plus is the higher-assurance tier, including everything in standard CE plus a technical audit: vulnerability scanning of internet-facing systems, workstation security verification, and internal network assessment. It is mandatory for MoD supply chain and many NHS Digital frameworks.

Our CE+ service for Surrey businesses includes: mock vulnerability scanning before audit, workstation hardening, assessor liaison, and full audit preparation. Our 100% first-time CE+ pass rate means no failed audits, no wasted certification body fees.
