Bridgeall, a leading Microsoft Solutions Partner, provides a Cyber Essentials Readiness assessment to help organisations understand their current cyber security posture and identify the steps needed to achieve Cyber Essentials certification. 

This session is designed for organisations looking to strengthen their defences, reduce risk, and demonstrate compliance with UK government-backed cyber security standards.

Assessing your Cyber Essentials readiness

Our readiness assessment helps you understand where you stand today and what needs to be improved to meet Cyber Essentials requirements. 

Bridgeall’s certified consultants will carry out a gap analysis covering key areas such as: 

  • Software and system updates 
  • User access and password management 
  • Firewalls and network security 
  • Malware protection 
  • Data backup and recovery 

We’ll review whether your software and infrastructure are up to date, highlight areas of non-compliance, and provide practical recommendations to help you prepare for certification. 

Agenda

Bridgeall provides a Cyber Essentials Readiness briefing tailored to your organisation. The exercise will be delivered by one of Bridgeall’s cyber security specialists. Our consultants are specifically trained in how to carry out this exercise, and all hold multiple certifications in cyber security.

  • Overview of Cyber Essentials and certification benefits 
  • Review of your current environment
