Use case
First Cyber Essentials certification
Your first Cyber Essentials certification is mostly about getting organised. The technical controls are usually achievable; the evidence story is the hard part.
What first-timers struggle with
Without a workspace, first-timers tend to over-scope, under-evidence and miss patching gaps. The whole thing feels disproportionately stressful for what is, fundamentally, a basic-hygiene scheme.
What to do in your first 4 weeks
- Define and document scope
- Build the asset register
- Capture firewall and configuration evidence
- Gather MFA evidence and admin account list
- Run a patch and unsupported-software review
- Write the small set of policies you actually need
