Equilibrium Security provides Cyber Essentials certification services as an accredited certification body. The service offers two certification levels: Cyber Essentials Basic and Cyber Essentials Plus. The Cyber Essentials Basic certification involves a self-assessment questionnaire covering five key security controls: firewalls and routers, software updates, malware protection, access controls, and secure configuration. Cyber Essentials Plus provides an independent assessment that includes security testing and simulated attacks to verify the implementation and effectiveness of security measures. Organizations that do not meet certification criteria receive recommendations for remediation. Certificates are valid for 12 months and require renewal after expiration. The certification is designed to help organizations demonstrate adequate security measures against cybercrime and provide assurance to customers, clients, and suppliers regarding data protection. Equilibrium Security has been conducting Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus assessments in partnership with IASME since 2016, operating as one of the certification bodies in the Midlands region of the UK.
