After ordering Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, you will receive login details for the members’ area of the site where you will find the electronic self-assessment questionnaire. You can then begin completing your application, saving your progress at any point and returning to it at a later date.

Filling out this questionnaire is relatively straightforward and will only take a couple of hours to complete. You are also supported throughout the process, either via the help buttons on the questionnaire or via the contact form. The deadline to complete and submit your assessment is three months from the start of the process.

If you do not meet this deadline, your application will be closed and you will have to reapply and pay another application fee to re-enter the process. Most of our customers complete their application within seven days and the support we offer during the application process means we have yet to fail an application.

Once the self-assessment form has been completed, you submit it electronically through the members’ area and will receive confirmation of receipt. After submission, it will take our team a few days to assess your answers. Once we have reviewed your application, you will be contacted by a member of our team to discuss the next steps in the process.
