Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus – Your foundation for cyber assurance
Dalton Cyber Security helps organisations achieve Cyber Essentials (CE) and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) certification quickly and confidently.
As an IASME-approved Certification Body, we guide you through every stage — from scoping and readiness to technical testing and submission.

Our experienced team makes the process clear, practical, and stress-free.
How we can help
We're an IASME-approved Certification Body — which means we can manage the entire process for you:
Readiness Review & Gap Analysis
Identify where you stand today and what needs to be done before submission.
Guided Self-Assessment (SA Form Support)
We walk you through each question, translating requirements into plain English actions.
Technical Testing for CE+
Our qualified assessors perform independent vulnerability scans and device testing to validate compliance.
Remediation & Re-testing
If issues arise, we'll help you fix them and retest before final submission.
Annual Renewal & Integration
We can manage your renewal each year and align CE with other frameworks like ICA or DCC.
CYBER ESSENTIALS CERTIFICATION
The benchmark for digital resilience
We offer an all-inclusive and stress free solution to Cyber Essentials certification, leaving you free to get on with running your business.
Cyber Essentials
You can complete a basic CE self-assessment yourself. You need to complete a technical 89-question questionnaire, available via the IASME website.
However, if you're not used to going in-depth with software or hardware, or you're simply too busy, we can support you by doing all the heavy lifting for you.
Following a short video call to understand your IT setup, we'll complete the assessment for you. This lets you get on with running your business.

Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials+ certification is a more rigorous, in-depth, process where the assessment needs to be carried out by an independent and accredited third party - that's where we come in.
CE Plus may be necessary for you if you need to comply with certain regulations or industry standards, but it will also make you look attractive to customers and suppliers if security is a top priority for them, or if you handle particularly sensitive data.
A CE Plus assessment depends on the number and type of devices you have in your organisation. We will give you a final bespoke quote once we fully understand your requirements. Prices below include both a CE and CE Plus certificate.

SATISFIED CLIENTS
What our clients say
We take pride in our work and our clients are our biggest advocates. Here's what they have to say about us.
My international media training company needed Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for our work with a UK Government department. David guided us through the whole process with professionalism and with charm. We've worked with other consultants in this area before, but compared to David that was an off the shelf response.
David gives a much more personal service and was also more cost effective for us. I've already recommended him in real life to another business owner I work with and would like to do the same here.
I know a moderate amount about Cyber Security but I have a fellow Director for whom this field is a total mystery. David was able to flex his approach to work well with both of us and is very good at picking up whether what he's said has been fully understood. These communication skills, alongside a solid understanding of his field, set him apart from others in this sector and I will definitely be engaging his services again in future.
