The first stage of the actual certification is online self-assessment, after which a qualified assessor will verify the information you’ve provided. So it’s vital that you’re thorough in your preparation.
Applying all of our IT expertise, we’ll analyse whether you measure up to the technical standards required for certification. We’ll do this by comprehensively auditing your IT systems and practices.
Of course, if there are any areas where you fall short, we can help you enhance your systems and processes. Whether it’s a cyber security issue or a connectivity problem, we’ll make certain you cover the five cyber security controls. Then you’ll be ready to take the assessment and reap all the benefits of certification.

Cyber Essentials is a certification scheme backed by the government to reduce cyber vulnerability throughout the supply chain. When implemented correctly, the security controls outlined should prevent 80% of cyber-attacks. Launched in 2014 by the National Cyber Security Centre, the Cyber Essentials scheme highlights the five basic cyber security controls that all businesses should be implementing:
Being certified is a great first step in being GDPR prepared. Cyber Essentials Certification is evidence that you have carried out the appropriate steps to protect your business and your data.
To be GDPR-ready, you’ll need more than the Cyber Essentials basic technical controls. Additional topics to cover include training staff, assessing business risks, dealing with incidents, and handling operational issues. As part of our consultancy service, Cheeky Munkey will locate any non-compliant areas and assist in resolving this before the formal assessment.
We also recommend that following this, your organisation acquires specialist legal advice on the GDPR. This applies to any data protection issue, as all advice from Cheeky Munkey on GDPR is not legal advice, it shouldn’t be treated as such.
Preparing for Cyber Essentials assessment will give you a comprehensive understanding of your cyber security protections. If you have any weaknesses, preparing for the assessment will uncover them, giving you the opportunity to remedy the problems and achieve a higher level of security. This will protect you from the prospect of data loss – and all the monetary and reputational loss that comes with it.
If you achieve certification, customers and potential customers will have greater trust in your organisation. You’ll be seen as more forward-thinking and careful – a business that understands the digital world and will keep data safe.
Plus, some government contracts might require you to be Cyber Essentials certified.
