Making Cyber Essentials Straightforward

The Challenge

Cyber Essentials provides organisations with a recognised way to demonstrate that important cybersecurity controls are in place, but the certification process can initially appear daunting.

iTec Electronics ltd wanted to achieve Cyber Essentials certification and engaged Plainsight Security to guide them through the process.

Our aim was not simply to administer the assessment, but to make the journey towards certification as straightforward as possible, providing clear explanations and practical support whenever it was needed.

Our Approach

Plainsight Security worked closely with iTec Electronics throughout the Cyber Essentials assessment.

We provided guidance on the requirements, helped clarify questions where necessary and ensured the client understood what was required to demonstrate compliance.

Rather than leaving the organisation to interpret technical requirements alone, we were available throughout the process to answer questions and provide practical guidance.

This supportive approach helped turn what could initially seem like a complicated certification exercise into a clear and manageable process.

The Outcome

iTec Electronics successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification, providing independent recognition that the organisation has implemented the fundamental technical controls required by the scheme.

Just as importantly, the client found the certification process considerably less daunting than expected.

Following the engagement, iTec Electronics awarded Plainsight Security 5/5 in every category, including professionalism, technical quality, communication, timeliness, clarity, overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend our services.
