    FAQ

    Cyber Essentials: frequently asked questions

    Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations guard against the most common internet-based cyber attacks. It covers five technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection.

    With OneClickComply, most organisations achieve certification within 3 to 5 days. The traditional manual process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.

    It is required for UK government contracts that involve handling sensitive information. Many private sector organisations also ask their suppliers to hold it.

    Certification lasts 12 months, so you need to re-certify every year. OneClickComply monitors the five controls between renewals, so re-certification starts from live evidence rather than a blank questionnaire.

    Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment questionnaire. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same controls but adds hands-on technical verification by a certified assessor.

    OneClickComply scans your infrastructure against the five controls and fixes common misconfigurations with OneClickFix. It then pre-populates your self-assessment questionnaire from live evidence, ready for submission.
