Important Update: Changes to Cyber Essentials for April 2026

IASME have published an article regarding the changes to the Cyber Essentials scheme that are coming in April 2026. This is important reading for any organisation that is planning to certify to Cyber Essentials in the next few months (particularly if you're doing Cyber Essentials Plus...)

While you may have already seen a preview of the updated Requirements, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has now added further adjustments to the certification process, marking scheme, and Cyber Essentials Plus assessment methodology. It is important to understand and implement these changes to ensure compliance with the updated requirements. If you’re preparing for certification or recertification, it’s vital to review these updates carefully.
