Independent Cyber Essentials Certification for a Cybersecurity Specialist

The Challenge

As a specialist penetration testing company, All-Secure understands the importance of maintaining effective cybersecurity controls and demonstrating a commitment to security best practices.

Cyber Essentials provides organisations with an independently assessed, nationally recognised certification that demonstrates compliance with fundamental cybersecurity requirements.

All-Secure engaged Plainsight Security to undertake its Cyber Essentials assessment, seeking a professional and efficient certification process that would complement its existing cybersecurity expertise.

For an organisation already operating within the cybersecurity industry, the priority was not learning the fundamentals of security, but working with a reliable certification provider capable of delivering a thorough assessment with clear communication and minimal unnecessary administration.

Our Approach

Plainsight Security worked with All-Secure to deliver its Cyber Essentials assessment in a professional, efficient and collaborative manner.

The assessment covered the five fundamental technical controls required by the Cyber Essentials scheme:

• Firewalls
• Secure configuration
• Security update management
• User access control
• Malware protection

Throughout the engagement, we maintained clear communication and provided timely assistance with the assessment submission and any clarification required.

Our approach recognised All-Secure's existing technical expertise, ensuring discussions remained relevant and focused on the certification requirements.

The objective was to provide a rigorous, independent assessment while making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible.

Efficient Assessment and Responsive Communication

For technically experienced organisations, the quality of the certification service is often measured by how efficiently the assessment is managed.

Clear communication, prompt responses and a well-organised process help ensure certification can be completed without unnecessary delays or disruption to normal business activities.

Plainsight Security worked closely with All-Secure throughout the engagement, providing responsive support with submission details and maintaining progress towards certification.

This approach resulted in a quick turnaround, something All-Secure specifically highlighted in its feedback.

The Outcome

All-Secure successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification, independently demonstrating that its assessed systems met the fundamental technical security requirements of the scheme.

The engagement provided the company with a professional and efficient certification experience, supported by clear communication and timely assistance.

Following the assessment, All-Secure awarded Plainsight Security 5/5 in every category, achieving an overall customer satisfaction rating of 100%.
