Cyber Essentials Certification in Peacehaven
Achieve UK government-backed cyber security certification, required for government contracts and an increasing number of tenders.
Working with Peacehaven businesses week in, week out — near the Meridian Monument or anywhere across the wider area.
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.
What I Do
a guided Cyber Essentials certification process: gap assessment, remediation against the five controls, questionnaire completion, and submission to an IASME-accredited certifying body so you get the badge and win more contracts.
Why Peacehaven Businesses Choose Local Support
Peacehaven and Telscombe Cliffs have a lot of small businesses run on mobile and a single office laptop, which is precisely the setup Cyber Essentials was designed around. If a client near the Meridian Monument, or further afield, has asked you to certify before signing a contract, the process covers five defined controls: firewall, secure configuration, access permissions, malware protection, and patching, evidenced in a self-assessment questionnaire. Your BN10 business doesn't need new hardware or a security team; it needs its existing setup checked, tidied, and documented. I do that, then submit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
My whole business runs off one laptop. Is certification realistic?
Very much so. A single-device setup is often the quickest to assess and remediate, since there's only one machine's configuration, patching, and access controls to check rather than a network of them.
How much is the certification fee?
The IASME certifying body charges around £300 for the basic certification. This is separate from my preparation fee and is paid directly to the certifying body.
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.
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.
How long does certification take?
It depends on how much remediation is needed against the five controls. An already-tidy setup is quick; businesses that need to harden a few things first take longer. I scope the remediation and fix any gaps before submission so you pass first time rather than rushing in and failing.
