Cyber Essentials Plus Certification – Independently Verified Cyber Security

Strengthen your business’s cyber security with Cyber Essentials Plus certification. soVision IT helps organisations prepare for independent technical assessments, identify security vulnerabilities and ensure essential security controls are correctly implemented to provide greater protection and peace of mind.

Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK Government-backed certification that builds on the standard Cyber Essentials scheme by providing independent technical verification of an organisation’s cyber security controls.

Unlike the standard Cyber Essentials certification, which involves a self-assessment, Cyber Essentials Plus includes hands-on technical testing conducted by an independent assessor to confirm that essential security measures are correctly implemented and working effectively.

Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates a higher level of cyber security assurance, helping organisations build trust with customers, suppliers and stakeholders while reducing their exposure to common cyber threats.

Delighted with the intermediate fix by Marcus and the fact that William came out so quickly and fixed the problem. He was also happy to double check things and sort out my printer. Really appreciated the help here as it felt like it was the beginning of days of problems which you were able to fix in a few hours.

SoVision IT Support

Just to say that the company were really helpful, especially the help desk person William Marshall. He was incredibly patient with me but we got there eventually, I couldn’t have done it without that level of IT support.

If you do meet them as part of the contract management please pass on my thanks. — Martin
