Sound familiar?

A certificate everyone wants — that nobody explains.

A client, tender, or insurer says you need Cyber Essentials — and you've no idea where to start.

The official questions ask about “firewalls,” “secure configuration,” and “user provisioning.” You just want to know what to actually do.

There's a deadline, and a contract riding on it.

You don't know if you'd pass — and you can't tell what would fail you.

A consultant quoted £600+ a day. That feels like a lot for a 9-person business.

You're not behind. The certificate is just badly explained.

That's the part we fix — from “I don't understand this” to “I'm ready to certify.”

How it works

Three steps. No IT department required.

Secure configuration
Is your Wi-Fi still using the password it came with?

Translate

We turn the official jargon into plain questions about your real working life — like “When you log into your accounting software, does it text you a code as well as a password?” Answer honestly; we handle the mapping.

Password Policy

Generate

The policies and documents the assessment expects? We write them for you, sized for a small business — your password policy, your joiner/leaver process, your scope statement. No blank pages.

Guide

Where there's a real gap, we give you click-by-click fixes — like turning on two-factor in Microsoft 365 or Xero. Mark each one done and watch your readiness turn green.

Passing once is easy.
Staying ready is the hard part.

Cyber Essentials renews every year, and the rules change every year. Most businesses scramble at renewal and discover something that passed last year now fails. ReadyCert watches it for you — so you're covered for the whole 12 months, not just assessment day.

Questions, answered.

No. We get you fully ready, then you certify through an IASME-licensed body (the only organisations that can issue the certificate). Think of us as the preparation that gets you there first time.

We can't promise that — nobody honestly can. What we do is preparation guidance: we show you exactly where you stand and how to fix every gap before you submit, so you go in confident.

Not at all. If you can answer questions about how your team works day to day, you can use ReadyCert. The whole point is that you don't need an IT department.

We only ever hold your descriptions of your setup — never your passwords or access to your systems. Nothing to breach, nothing to leak.

The opposite. It's built for businesses of roughly 5–50 people with no dedicated IT — the ones every other option ignores.

Waitlist members lock in £95 for the first year and keep £95/year for every renewal after that — a 52% saving on the £200/year launch price. As long as your subscription stays active, your rate doesn't change when public pricing goes up. If you cancel and rejoin later, you'd come back on whatever the current launch pricing is (£35/month or £200/year).

Be ready before your deadline.

Join the waitlist and you'll be first in when we open — with early-bird pricing for founding users.
