Checklist

Cyber Essentials evidence checklist

Use this checklist as a starting point for the evidence your assessor will expect. It covers the five Cyber Essentials control areas at an SME-friendly level of detail.

Why checklists matter

Most failed Cyber Essentials applications miss one or two pieces of evidence that a checklist would have caught. Working from a single list makes it harder for things to fall through the cracks.

What to gather, by control area

  • Firewalls: admin screenshots, password change, inbound rules
  • Secure configuration: device baselines, auto-lock, admin separation
  • User access: admin list, joiners/leavers, MFA evidence
  • Malware protection: console coverage report, policy
  • Patching: patch report, supported OS list, unsupported software plan
  • Asset register, policies and review notes
