Urgent Cyber Essentials Certification

When you need it yesterday

Most urgent Cyber Essentials enquiries come from the same place: a contract award or framework place is conditional on it, a tender closes on Friday, a prime won't onboard you until you hold it, or an insurer's renewal now requires it. The certificate has become the thing standing between you and the work.

How fast, realistically

We won't promise a date we can't hit. What actually determines speed is the state of your controls, not the paperwork. If your firewalls, updates, access control, configuration and malware protection are already in order, Cyber Essentials can often be turned around within the week. If they are not, we tell you precisely what to fix first, so you spend your remaining days on the right things rather than guessing.

Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit that has to be scheduled, so it needs a little more runway. If your deadline genuinely requires Plus, tell us the date on the first call and we'll tell you straight whether it's achievable.

Why working with us is faster

We tell you exactly what to fix so you don't burn days guessing, and we help you get a clean submission in quickly. Most lost days go on false starts and resubmissions; we cut both out.

What we need from you

To move quickly: the deadline and what it's for, an agreed scope, access to the IASME portal, and a technical contact who can answer questions and make changes fast. Give us those and we'll compress everything that can be compressed.

If something doesn't pass

You don't fail and lose the fee. We tell you exactly what needs to change, you fix it, and you resubmit. The point is to get you certified, not to catch you out.
