Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed baseline for technical security controls. It is a useful standard. It is not, by itself, a complete security programme.

MergeIT helps businesses understand what the baseline is asking for and prepare the related controls across identity, devices, email and the wider Microsoft 365 environment. Achieving certification is a decision for the organisation and the official scheme. This page is not a statement that MergeIT holds an accreditation.

Where a customer, insurer or public-sector buyer has asked for Cyber Essentials, preparation should still leave you with controls you can keep, not a file of answers that drift the following month.

  • A baseline, not a slogan

    We use the scheme to focus the technical controls, then connect them to how the business actually works.

  • Preparation you can maintain

    The value is in the controls that remain after the assessment, not in a one-off document.
