Enhanced Cyber Essentials certification with independent technical verification of security controls.
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on Cyber Essentials by adding independent technical verification. A qualified assessor tests your systems—vulnerability scanning, simulated phishing, and verification that controls work as claimed. CE Plus provides greater assurance than self-assessment, demonstrating that controls are not just documented but actually implemented and effective. Many organisations and government contracts specifically require CE Plus over basic Cyber Essentials.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
CE Plus proves your controls work, not just that you claim they do. The independent verification catches gaps self-assessment might miss. Required for higher-risk government contracts and increasingly preferred by security-conscious customers.
