Driffield IT Security Specialists Frost helps client successfully renew Cyber Essential Plus Certification

We are delighted to announce that one of our clients has successfully renewed their Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Key challenges, we helped our client address to meet the compliance and governance requirements of this certification included:

✅ Ensuring all operating systems and software were fully patched within 14 days of release

✅ Tracking patch status across all endpoints, laptops, and devices

✅ Managing third-party software updates (e.g., Java, Adobe, browsers) not handled by Windows Update

✅ Verifying that every user had a unique account

✅ Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts

✅ Regularly reviewing and removing inactive accounts

✅ Ensuring centrally managed anti-malware was installed, active, and updated

✅ Demonstrating both real-time and scheduled scanning coverage

✅ Ensuring personal firewalls were active on all devices

✅ Disabling or removing unused software and user accounts

✅ Enforcing strong password policies

✅ Passing vulnerability scans run by the assessor with no high-severity findings

✅ Proving patch and configuration compliance across sample devices

✅ Handling remediation quickly if any issues were identified

Our client operates within an industry where strong security, and high levels of cyber awareness are essential. We were delighted to have support them throughout this project.
