Built on expert knowledge gained from numerous cyber security implementation projects in a range of industries and companies, this toolkit includes all the necessary work procedures and processes for ensuring that the controls you are implementing, according to the requirements of the Scheme, are effective in delivering what they intend to do.

The toolkit includes:

• Policies
• Procedures
• Records
• Registers
• Gap analysis tool

These processes will help your organisation move to the next level of cyber security and ensure that the required controls are implemented effectively.

The most important aspect of your CES documentation is that it has to be your own. It has to reflect your organisational culture, your processes and your technologies.

The biggest danger in using any set of model documents is that they can deprive your organisation of the opportunity to really understand what it is doing. The result can be that the CES implementation fails, either immediately or in the long term.

This documentation toolkit is designed to reflect all of the requirements of the Cyber Essentials Scheme, but it does not incorporate the actual actions that must be implemented to be certified to the scheme. That is, the documents describe what your organisation should be doing to meet the scheme’s requirements, but you will need to ensure that your organisation follows through.

Ensure that the controls you are implementing are aligned to the requirements of the Cyber Essentials Scheme with this toolkit.
