Who wrote it

Written by the people who run the assessments

This is not a vendor brochure. It is written by the assessor team at Forensic Control, an authorised IASME Cyber Essentials Certification Body certifying UK organisations since 2017. We have put hundreds of organisations through Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, so the guide reflects what actually passes and fails on assessment day, not what a datasheet claims.
