Evaud vs Cyber Essentials consultants
Consultants can be hugely valuable, especially for first-time certifications. The challenge is what happens once they leave.
Where consultants shine
Consultants can run a first-time programme end-to-end: scope decisions, evidence gathering, policy writing, assessor liaison. They bring experience and focus.
Where consultant-led setups go stale
Once the consultant goes, evidence often lives in their templates or their drives. Renewal year, you start again.
How Evaud preserves the work
Workspace stays with you
Even with a consultant, the evidence lives in your workspace — not their drive.
Renewal-ready
Reminders and status keep the work alive between assessments.
Lower repeat cost
Subsequent renewals don't require starting from zero.
