Cyber Essentials Plus Pack

Let us get you ready for the hands-on audit

Cyber Essentials Plus is the same five controls, proven by an assessor who tests your systems directly, and that is a different kind of preparation. You get everything in the Cyber Essentials Pack plus the self-test runbooks, scope and sampling guidance, and evidence templates to rehearse the assessor's own tests before audit day.

Everything in the Cyber Essentials Pack
Self-test runbooks for each control the assessor checks
Scope, sampling, and evidence capture for audit day

Cyber Essentials Plus is the same five controls, verified. The audit is where people stall.

The base certification trusts your self-assessment. Plus does not. An independent assessor tests your systems directly: a vulnerability scan, a sample of your devices, and hands-on checks that your patching, malware protection, MFA, and account separation actually behave the way your answers claim. The organizations that breeze through the questionnaire are often the ones caught out here, because the audit surfaces the gap between what is written and what is running.

This pack closes that gap before the assessor arrives. It is the complete Cyber Essentials Pack plus an audit layer that lets you run the assessor's own tests on yourself first.

Built on the full Cyber Essentials Pack

You get every policy, register, and plan from the base pack, the governance behind the five controls, and the Self-Assessment Question Mapping. The sections below are what Plus adds on top, for the hands-on assessment.

Rehearse exactly what the assessor runs

The hands-on assessment follows a fixed set of tests. The pack gives you a runbook for each one, so you find and fix the failures on your own schedule, not on audit day.

TC1
Remote vulnerability assessment
Run the external-facing scan the assessor runs, and read the results the way they will, before they do.
TC2
Patching and vulnerability fixes
Confirm that high and critical fixes are applied inside the required window, on the devices in scope.
TC3
Malware protection
Verify that protection is active and behaves correctly against the assessor's test files, with a safe handling procedure included.
TC4
Multi-factor authentication
Check MFA is enforced where the scheme requires it, including cloud services, and capture the evidence.
TC5
Account separation
Confirm that administrative and standard accounts are properly separated, the check that quietly fails the most audits.

Scope, evidence, and the day itself

The other half of passing Plus is agreeing the right scope, capturing evidence the assessor accepts, and being ready when they arrive.

Scope and sampling

A Scope and Sampling Guide, a Device Sampling Worksheet, and a Scope and Segregation Verification Worksheet, so the engagement starts from an agreed boundary.

Evidence

An Evidence Capture Pack, a Vulnerability Remediation Tracker, MFA and Account Separation Verification, and a Cloud Service and MFA Register.

Assessor day

Assessor Day Logistics and a Pre-Audit Sign-Off, so the assessment runs to a plan instead of a scramble.

What this looks like in practice

The assessor's scan finds issues

You have already run the same scan, logged each finding in the remediation tracker, fixed it, and captured the re-test, so there are no surprises.

They sample your devices

Your Device Sampling Worksheet and scope verification justify the boundary up front, so the sample is agreed rather than argued.

Audit day arrives

You work from the logistics plan and a signed-off readiness check, and produce evidence on request instead of hunting for it.

Walk into the hands-on audit having already run it yourself.

Who it's for

Organizations whose customers, insurers, or contracts require Cyber Essentials Plus specifically, anyone who has passed the self-assessment and now faces the hands-on audit, and consultants who want a repeatable, assessor-ready package for client engagements. The independent assessment is performed by an IASME-appointed body and is not included. This pack makes it something you walk into prepared.
