Cyber Essentials, Entirely Online

Cyber Essentials certification was originally a paper-based, email-heavy process. Traditional certification bodies still operate that way - you download a questionnaire, fill it in, email it back, and wait for a response by email. Every handoff introduces delay. Fig Group rebuilt the process from the ground up as a digital experience. The entire certification journey runs through a purpose-built online platform. You complete your self-assessment in the browser with guided questions, submit directly into an integrated review workflow, and receive structured feedback in-platform. No email chains, no shared inboxes, no manual overhead. This is why Fig Group can guarantee certification within 6 hours for compliant submissions - the online platform eliminates the dead time that slows every other certification body down.

What is Cyber Essentials?

A UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed cyber security scheme administered by IASME on behalf of the NCSC. It validates five core security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control, and malware protection. The current v3.3 requirements include mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA). Fig Group delivers the entire Cyber Essentials process online - there is no paperwork to download, no forms to post, and no phone calls to book. Everything happens in a modern web platform built for speed.

There are two certification levels. Cyber Essentials is self-assessed through an online questionnaire (from £314.99 + VAT). Cyber Essentials Plus adds an external technical audit with vulnerability scanning (from £1,499 + VAT). The self-assessment level is fully online from start to finish. The Plus level is also primarily online, with the technical audit handled remotely wherever possible. Both certificates are valid for 12 months and appear on the public IASME register.
