Description
Cyber Essentials Plus Readiness Package – PPCS
Prepare your business for the Cyber Essentials Plus technical audit with a complete readiness assessment from PPCS.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a step above the standard Cyber Essentials certification. It includes hands-on technical testing, vulnerability checks, device sampling, malware protection verification and an in-depth assessment by an accredited auditor.
Our Cyber Essentials Plus Readiness Package ensures your organisation is fully prepared for the audit by identifying failures, fixing gaps and confirming your devices and systems meet the requirements before the official test.
