Our Accreditations

What is a Cyber Essentials audit

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are cybersecurity certification schemes developed by the UK government to help organisations, whether large or small, protect themselves against common cybersecurity threats.

The Cyber Essentials scheme provides a framework and a set of guidelines for implementing fundamental cybersecurity practices.

Our method

We believe simplicity and efficiency is key to a success audit.

We begin by meticulously planning your Cyber Essentials audit and seek to understand your organisation’s unique technical environment, scope and requirements.

We’ll work with you and your teams to deliver a detailed audit schedule.

Our expert auditors will work with you and your control owners to capture, review and validate your audit evidence.

All audits are concluded with a review session to explore any findings and areas for improvement.

On completion of the audit, you’ll receive a copy of your Cyber Essentials assessment questionnaire, which we’ll submit on your behalf to the certifying body, IASME.

We value what our customers think of us

Blackfoot are authentic, hard-working, flexible and committed. Finding a partner who has our best interests at heart, one who tries to find solutions that work for us as a customer is like gold-dust. I now consider Blackfoot as part of my trusted partner network for any future projects.

"As our business has expanded so quickly, we have had to learn and implement new policies, processes, controls internally and externally, upskill staff and manage 3rd parties differently, it’s been a heck of a learning curve. During the onboarding and kick off meetings the support exceeded what I was expecting. The support from Blackfoot was amazing."

I was very impressed with your project managers persistence and attention to detail. She clearly understood the technical side of the testing and was very patient and polite when chasing up due to slow / delayed responses on our side. Overall, the approach gave me confidence that the testing was being planned carefully and that Blackfoot were helping us get the best out of the plan.

"I’m pleased to have seen the account progress, I know your consultants have dedicated a lot of time to the project and I’m excited to report back to their transformation director in the new year around their latest level of data security and privacy maturity based on the investment they have made"

“ I would like to add my thanks as in previous years you have really supported us and helped us to renew our certification and the entire process has been smooth and painless, we are most grateful."
