Cyber Essentials.
Government-backed certification, delivered by Addooco Secure in 30 days.
Certified In 7 Days
We run Cyber Essentials as a fixed, managed programme. From your kick-off call to your certificate, most organisations are certified within 30 days - because we prepare the evidence, close the gaps and submit the assessment for you.
Free Audit & Proposal
Start with a free audit against the five Cyber Essentials controls. You get a written set of recommendations and a free proposal covering exactly what we would do to resolve them - yours to keep, with no obligation.
Our Offer
A free audit, free recommendations and a free proposal. Then certification in 30 days.
1. Your Free Audit
Our Tech Team reviews your estate against all five Cyber Essentials controls - firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection. We look at the devices, cloud services and accounts your people actually use, not a questionnaire in isolation. The audit is free, and there is no obligation to go any further.
2. Clear Recommendations
You receive a written report in plain English: what already meets the standard, what does not, and what each gap means in practice. Findings are prioritised so you can see the difference between a five-minute policy change and a piece of work that needs planning. The report is yours to keep, whoever you use.
3. A Free Proposal
Alongside the recommendations we give you a free proposal setting out exactly how Addooco would close every gap, what it costs and how long it takes. No discovery fee, no consultancy day rate to get to that answer - just a costed plan you can approve, share internally or simply use as a benchmark.
4. Certification In 30 Days
Say yes and we do the work. We remediate the gaps, gather the evidence, complete the self-assessment with you and submit it to the certification body - with most organisations certified inside 30 days of starting. You get the certificate, the marketing badge and a system that stays compliant afterwards.
The Benefits
Why the Cyber Essentials programme is worth doing.
Stops The Common Attacks
The five controls are aimed squarely at the commodity attacks that make up the vast majority of incidents - phishing, stolen credentials, unpatched software and malware. Getting them right removes the easy routes in.
Wins You Work
Cyber Essentials is mandatory for many central government and MOD contracts, and increasingly asked for by corporate clients, insurers and funders. Certification turns a procurement blocker into a tick in the box.
Cyber Insurance Included
UK organisations with a turnover under £20 million qualify for included cyber liability insurance when they certify to Cyber Essentials, and certification often improves the terms of wider policies too.
Supply Chain Assurance
Your customers want evidence, not promises. A current certificate answers most security questionnaires and supplier assessments before they are asked, and lets you set the same bar for your own suppliers.
A Baseline You Can Build On
Cyber Essentials gives you a known, documented starting point. It is the natural first step towards building a security baseline you can be confident in.
Confidence For Your People
Clear rules on devices, accounts and updates take the guesswork out of security for your team. Everyone knows what good looks like, and your board has documented assurance that it is being done.
Case Study
Lincolnshire House Association: onboarded and Cyber Essentials certified in 30 days.
A Full Onboarding, Not Just A Certificate
Lincolnshire House Association came to us needing to move IT provider and achieve Cyber Essentials at the same time. We onboarded the organisation, brought its estate up to standard and had it certified within 30 days - while the day job carried on.
Faster If You Are Already With Us
Thirty days covered a provider migration as well as certification. Where we are already managing your estate, or your estate is in reasonable shape, 30 days is the realistic timescale - and the free audit tells us which of those you are before you commit to anything.
