Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cyber Essentials mandatory in the UK?
Cyber Essentials is mandatory for all UK government contracts involving sensitive information or personal data. It is also required by many UK private sector supply chains and strongly recommended by the NCSC for all UK businesses as a baseline cyber hygiene framework.
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials involves a verified self-assessment reviewed by an NCSC-approved certifying body. Cyber Essentials Plus includes all of the above plus an independent technical audit - hands-on verification of the five controls. CE Plus provides stronger assurance and is increasingly required by UK enterprise supply chains.
Does Cyber Essentials certification help with ISO 27001?
Yes. The five Cyber Essentials control themes map directly to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls in access management, network security, vulnerability management, and endpoint protection. Praxis-Q implements Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 concurrently to eliminate duplicate effort.
