That one was close. Make sure the next one stays small.
A near miss is useful. We use it to find the gaps that matter and put them in order, before they cost you anything.

Turning a warning into a fix list
If you have had a near miss, such as a convincing email someone almost acted on, you have a rare thing: a warning with no damage. The risk is that it fades, and nothing changes.
The gap assessment looks at the five Cyber Essentials controls and what your business shows to the internet. You get a short fix list for your IT team or IT firm, most important first.
The five controls are firewalls, secure settings, user access, malware protection and security updates.

Questions
- Do we need to have had a real incident?
- No. A near miss is enough. So is a question from a client, a contract or an insurer.
- Do you certify us?
- A licensed Certification Body issues the certificate. We get you ready to pass it first time.
- We already have an IT firm. Do we still need this?
- Often, yes. We work alongside your IT firm and give you an independent view.
