The only Cyber Essentials service that turns every requirement into your own step-by-step fixes

Say what you use — Windows or Mac, Microsoft 365 or Google, your router — and every requirement becomes a short step with exact instructions, plus a real security professional one email away.

Cyber Essentials is the UK security certificate insurers, clients and some contracts ask for — and the basics of it keep ransomware out of a business like yours.

  • Turn on multi-factor authentication on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
  • Enable the firewall on your router and every laptop
  • Set up a password manager and automated backups

Built for the owner doing their own IT

No IT department. No time for jargon. Just your own setup, made secure between client work.

  • Built for owners and partners of 1–9 person UK firms — accountants, solicitors, design and marketing agencies
  • For the person who does the IT themselves, between client work
  • Fits a handful of laptops, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and a broadband router

Your setup, turned into your fixes

You tell it what your business uses, and it hands back the exact instructions — nothing generic, nothing you don't use.

  • Tell us your setup once — Windows or Mac, Microsoft 365 or Google, your router
  • Every Cyber Essentials requirement becomes a short, exact step
  • No jargon — just the fix that matches what you actually use

    Follow the exact step for each Cyber Essentials requirement, one fix at a time.

  3. 3

    Watch your Readiness climb

    Finish a fix and its area turns green, lifting your score toward ready-to-submit.

  4. 4

    Pick up where you left off

    Your setup and progress are saved, with a nudge if you go three days without progress.

Readiness

£99 one-time

  • The full guided path from your setup to ready-to-submit
  • Every Cyber Essentials requirement, one fix at a time
  • One business, no recurring commitment

Then you submit to the certification body for the certificate itself — their fee, from £320 + VAT, is paid to them, not us. We show you exactly where.

Ongoing plan

£29 per month

  • Phishing awareness training for staff
  • A monthly check-in when things change — a new laptop, a new starter
  • Founder support and yearly (re)certification prep

Typical UK price for guided Cyber Essentials help: £300–£495 + VAT. This plan: £99, with the fixes included — not just a report.
