Why Derby businesses are asked for Cyber Essentials
Derby's economy is unusually concentrated in supply chains that take security seriously. Rail, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, defence and the professional services that support them all sit inside procurement chains where a tier-one buyer is contractually obliged to check its suppliers. That obligation is usually discharged with one question: do you hold Cyber Essentials?
The second driver is public sector work. Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, the NHS trusts in the county and every central government framework require Cyber Essentials for contracts that touch personal data or departmental systems. If you are bidding, the certificate is not a nice-to-have, it is a pass or fail gate at the selection questionnaire stage.
What certification costs a Derby business
Cyber Essentials is priced by headcount. A Derby business with 1 to 9 staff pays £320 + VAT. 10 to 49 staff is £440 + VAT, 50 to 249 staff is £500 + VAT and 250 or more staff is £600 + VAT. Every quote includes preparation support, a pre-check of your submission before it is filed, and £25,000 of cyber liability insurance for UK organisations under £20m turnover.
Cyber Essentials Plus adds a hands-on technical audit with vulnerability scanning: £1,400 + VAT for 1 to 9 staff, rising to £2,000 + VAT for 250 or more. Because we are in Derby, on-site Plus audits across the county do not attract the travel costs that a London or Manchester body would add.
How the process runs locally
It starts with a 30-minute scoping call, free of charge, to establish what is in scope: devices, cloud services, home workers, BYOD and any legacy kit. For Derby manufacturers this conversation usually turns on operational technology and whether shop-floor systems are segregated from the office network.
We then walk you through the IASME question set, review your answers before submission, and issue the certificate ourselves once it passes. Most Derby clients complete in 5 to 10 working days. Where a bid deadline is tight, the 24-hour route is available and a weekend fast track can be added for £100 + VAT, subject to assessor availability.

Regional credentials
NixInfinity-AI is listed in the East Midlands Combined County Authority Growth Hub business directory as a regional technology and cyber security provider, and appears on IASME's find-a-certification-body listing as a licensed Cyber Essentials Certification Body.
Being licensed matters. A Certification Body reviews your submission and issues your certificate. Many providers advertising Cyber Essentials locally are resellers passing your paperwork to someone else, which adds a handover and removes your direct line to the assessor.
