How we keep evidence honestUK Cyber Essentials FAQ
UK Cyber Essentials — the NCSC scheme's five technical controls. Coarse by design, so many findings land on the same control. If your customers, buyers, or regulators ask about UK Cyber Essentials, or it's blocking an enterprise deal, it applies to you — and TensorShield gets you ready without a dedicated security hire.
UK Cyber Essentials isn't a one-time certificate — it's an ongoing obligation. We continuously map your real posture to UK Cyber Essentials, flag gaps the moment they appear, prepare fixes, and keep a signed, current evidence trail — so you can demonstrate compliance whenever a customer, regulator, or auditor asks.
The technical controls automate: continuous scanning across your code, cloud, identity, and apps, each finding mapped to the UK Cyber Essentials control it affects, with fixes prepared for one-tap approval. The human-only parts — writing policies, risk decisions, and the independent attestation — are where your team, our managed expert, or your MSP's expert signs off. We're explicit about that line; we never mark a control met from a scan alone.
Most of the delay in a UK Cyber Essentials program is the manual technical work and evidence-gathering — exactly what we automate from day one. You'll see your UK Cyber Essentials posture in minutes and close the automatable gaps fast; the human controls (policies, training) set the remainder of the schedule.
Far less than a consultant-led UK Cyber Essentials project or a full-time security hire. You can start free and see your UK Cyber Essentials posture before paying anything; the managed "we run it for you" option is priced on your stack and scope — book a call to scope it.
