Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus: Top Reasons Organisations Fail and How to Avoid Them

Many organisations start Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus expecting a straightforward process, then run into delays, extra costs or a failed assessment. This free session from URM Consulting looks at why that happens and what you can do to avoid it.

It skips the basics of the scheme and focuses on real assessment findings. Topics include scoping mistakes, asset visibility, privileged account and access control issues, patching and end-of-life software, and common misunderstandings about test, development and production environments. It also explains what happens during a CE+ assessment and the findings that come up most often.

The speaker is an IASME certified CE and CE+ assessor, so the advice comes from what assessors actually see. You'll leave knowing what assessors look for and where your own weak spots are likely to be.
