Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme, run under the National Cyber Security Centre, that certifies an organization has the five core technical controls in place to fend off the most common internet-based attacks. It is frequently a contractual prerequisite for public-sector work and a credible signal to customers that basic hygiene is covered. Small and mid-sized businesses preparing for the self-assessment, or gearing up for the audited Cyber Essentials Plus, use this toolkit to document the controls the scheme scrutinizes.
Included documents
- Policies for the five controls: firewalls and boundary devices, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and security update management
- Asset inventory and hardware/software register
- Patch and vulnerability management procedure
- User account, privilege, and password management policy
- Bring-your-own-device and mobile working guidance
- Self-assessment preparation checklist mapped to the question set
- Supporting records and evidence logs to demonstrate each control
The bundle provides a complete set of editable templates covering every control theme the scheme assesses.
Why buyers choose it
Rather than decoding the requirements and drafting policies alone, you start from documents already framed around the five controls and the self-assessment questionnaire. They are supplied as editable Word and Excel files, so branding and tailoring them to your environment takes hours, not days. You reach a submission-ready state faster, avoid consultant fees for what is a well-defined baseline, and keep evidence organized for a smoother assessment.
Download the toolkit, align the controls with your systems, and approach your Cyber Essentials submission with the documentation already assembled.
