An appointed Cyber Essentials certification body

Dead Simple Computing, a Cyber Essentials Certification Body

We are an appointed Cyber Essentials certification body, so our assessors work to the standard every day. Preparation, remediation and formal assessment are separate pieces of work, and we say which one you are buying.

01An appointed certification body. We are appointed to assess organisations against Cyber Essentials.
02MDR as standard. Managed detection and response is included on every managed plan, watching around the clock.
03Secured and evidenced. The team that defends you also documents what is in place, so the evidence is there when an insurer or auditor asks.
Cyber Security / 02 · What we do

Certification, monitoring and response

From the baseline certifications a supply chain asks for, to monitoring around the clock and incident response, with one team accountable across all of it.

01Certify

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus

The baseline supply chains and contracts ask for. Preparation, remediation and formal assessment are separate pieces of work, whether you take Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, which adds a technical audit where an assessor tests a sample of your devices and accounts.

Email and endpoint security

The two routes attackers use most often: the inbox, and the devices your people work on. We configure and run the protection, usually on licences you already pay for, and keep it that way.

08Respond

Incident response

When it matters, you speak to a senior responder. They take control, contain the incident, restore the business, and explain what happened and how to stop it recurring. Incident response is available to our managed clients.

Cyber Security / 03 · The proof

Twelve risks found, then closed

A professional services firm asked us to review where it was exposed. A full security assessment found twelve distinct risks, several of them critical. We confirmed each one, explained the business impact, and worked through them in priority order until every one was closed. The engagement is written up in our security assessment and remediation case study.
