Cyber Essentials in a Week

Can you get Cyber Essentials in a week? Often yes, if your controls are in place, and we will tell you honestly.

What is Cyber Essentials in a Week?

Cyber Essentials in a week is realistic for many businesses whose core controls, such as MFA, patching and supported software, are already in place. The self-assessment can then be completed and passed quickly.

Why it matters

A week is often exactly the window a contract or tender leaves you. Whether it is achievable comes down to your current setup, which we can assess on a single call.

How Solusec helps

We check your readiness fast, flag anything that would block a pass, help you fix it, and move to submission, so a week is achievable when the groundwork is there.

Fast, but honest

How fast depends on where you are today. If key controls such as multi-factor authentication or removing unsupported software need sorting first, we will tell you straight and help you do it quickly. What we will not do is sign off anything that is not genuinely secure, and a good assessor never should.

How we work

Solusec is a certified IASME assessor for Cyber Essentials. We fast-track your certification: we prioritise your application, help you fix any blockers quickly, and guide you through to a pass. You deal directly with the assessor, so there is no queue and no call centre.

Common questions

Is a week realistic?

For businesses already close to the mark, yes. If bigger fixes are needed first, we will be honest about the extra time and help you move fast.

What usually slows it down?

Rolling out multi-factor authentication and removing unsupported software are the two most common delays.

Do you actually issue the certificate?

We are a certified IASME assessor and take you through assessment to a pass. We are honest about timelines and never sign off controls that are not genuinely in place.

How much does it cost?
