Better-IT Achieves Cyber Essentials Plus – What It Means for You

We’re proud to announce we’ve officially passed our Cyber Essentials Plus Certification.

This certification follows our new ISO accreditations and reinforces our unwavering commitment to cyber security across every business layer.

But what exactly is Cyber Essentials Plus? And, more importantly, why should you care?

Let me break it down for you.

What Is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification under the UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme. It requires a rigorous, independent audit of our systems and processes, going beyond the standard self-assessed Cyber Essentials.

This isn’t just a tick-box exercise. We’ve undergone hands-on technical verification from a qualified assessor—meaning every corner of our security posture was tested against real-world threats.

We didn’t just pass. We proved that our security measures are working in practice, not just on paper.

What It Means for Us

Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus validates the strong foundations we’ve already laid:

We practise what we preach. Our internal IT infrastructure, device management, access controls, and threat monitoring have all been scrutinised and approved to government-endorsed standards.
It raises our bar even higher. Security is never a one-time task. This certification reinforces our team’s commitment to continual improvement and ongoing investment in cyber resilience.
It strengthens our supply chain position. More and more organisations are demanding higher cyber standards from their partners. Now, with Cyber Essentials Plus, we meet and exceed those expectations.

What It Means for You

We’re your IT partner—and that makes your cyber security our responsibility. Here’s what this certification means for you as our client:

1. Peace of Mind

You’re working with a partner who takes your security seriously. We don’t just talk the talk—we’ve proven we walk the walk.

2. Independent Validation

We’ve been tested and accredited by an external body. This isn’t just our opinion—it’s official confirmation that our systems are secure.

3. Lower Risk of Cyber Threats

With every layer of our infrastructure examined and vulnerabilities addressed, the likelihood of a breach has been significantly reduced. That protection extends to you.

4. A Stronger Supply Chain

Your own business security is only as strong as your weakest link. By working with a Cyber Essentials Plus certified partner, you bolster your own cyber defences.

5. Support with Your Own Compliance

Need help achieving your own Cyber Essentials certification? Or trying to demonstrate secure practices to clients and regulators? We’re now even better placed to help you navigate those requirements.

Moving Forward, Securely

Cyber threats aren’t slowing down—and neither are we. This certification is a milestone, but it’s also a motivator. It drives us to go even further to protect the businesses that trust us.

If you’re unsure about your own cyber resilience, or simply want to understand how Cyber Essentials could help your business, let’s talk.

You deserve a partner who takes your security as seriously as you do.

And now, you’ve got one. Thinking of taking the next steps in your business towards Cyber Essentials Plus, book a call and we can guide you through it.

Dan and the team at Better IT have been great. We recently transitioned across and they have worked hard to ensure all of our devices are secure and work well. Dan has been instrumental in this process and has helped to walk me through a number of "techy" things with patience and support. When answering queries the team are supportive and quick ensuring we can get online with minimal disruption.

Better IT have been absolutely fantastic for our business. They’ve helped us future-proof everything – from improving our systems and storage to enhancing our security and completely upgrading our phone setup. It’s made a huge difference and really brought us into the 21st century. The whole team is incredibly helpful, friendly, and always go above and beyond to get things sorted quickly and efficiently. Can’t recommend them enough!

Our company swapped to Better-IT early this year and wow, what a change from our last provider! They are very switched on, responsive, friendly and can never do enough to help. Paul recently went out of his way to help us update some policies. His knowledge and the templates provided were invaluable and saved us so much time. Our employees are now confident once again that when they need IT support, they will be able to speak with a team who have time for them and can quickly resolve any issues.

When our onsite IT resource unexpectedly took leave, Better IT quickly agreed to a weekly onsite presence. Alex's visits have helped to ensure our IT operations continue smoothly. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to outstanding service are not just better, but the best!

We have used Better-IT for many years. Always responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Better-IT were able to quickly source some WiFi access points and host them. Although they weren't supporting them, Dan took the time to record a video on how to configure them which gave me a better understanding of how they talk to our firewall and get them working. Excellent service.
