Optimising IT offers Cyber Essentials (CE) and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) certification services as an IASME-approved Cyber Essentials Certification Body and NCSC Assured Service Provider. The service enables organisations to achieve UK government-backed cybersecurity compliance certifications without involving third parties. The certification process follows a five-step roadmap: 1. Cyber Security Assessment – An initial audit of the organisation's current cybersecurity practices. 2. Risk Identification – Identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses discovered during the audit. 3. Targeted Resolution Plan – Recommending and discussing remediation for identified vulnerabilities. 4. Verification of Security Improvements – Re-auditing to confirm that new security measures are effective and meet compliance requirements. 5. Awarding of Certification – Issuing CE, CE+, or ISO 27001 certification upon successful completion. CE is a government-backed certification demonstrating fundamental cybersecurity controls. CE+ is a more comprehensive version with greater technical security depth. ISO 27001 is also offered as a globally recognised standard for stringent cybersecurity compliance. The service targets businesses seeking to win contract tenders, meet UK GDPR obligations, and demonstrate cybersecurity competence to clients. Optimising IT handles the entire process in-house, from gap analysis through to official certification issuance.
