The Problem
being unable to bid for government contracts or certain tenders because you don't hold Cyber Essentials certification, and not knowing where to start.

Cyber Essentials Certification in Bognor Regis: the Local Picture
Bognor Regis businesses working near the University of Chichester campus, or supplying anything into education, healthcare, or larger commercial clients along the coastal corridor to Littlehampton, are increasingly the ones asked for Cyber Essentials before a contract is confirmed. The certification is five practical controls, not an overhaul: firewalls, secure device configuration, access control, malware protection, and patching, assessed against your PO21 or PO22 setup. I run the gap assessment, fix what's genuinely missing, and submit your self-assessment questionnaire to an IASME-accredited certifying body.

Common Questions
Does supplying a college or institution require Cyber Essentials?
Often yes, education and public-sector bodies frequently specify it for suppliers handling any data or systems access. If you work with the university or local schools, it's worth checking their current procurement requirements.
What is Cyber Essentials?
A UK government-backed certification that proves your business has five fundamental cyber security controls in place. Required for many government contracts and increasingly expected in supply chains.
What are the five Cyber Essentials controls?
Firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. I assess your current setup against all five and fix any gaps before submission.
What if I fail the self-assessment?
Most businesses need some remediation first. I identify the gaps in advance and fix them before you submit, so you pass first time.
Will it help my cyber insurance premiums?
Some cyber insurers offer lower premiums for Cyber Essentials-certified businesses, worth checking with your broker after certification.
