Can you issue Cyber Essentials today?

If you contact us before 11am with a fully prepared environment (MFA on all cloud accounts, supported OS, patched, anti-malware running), same-day certificate issue is realistic. Contact us and we'll confirm honestly within an hour.

Do you charge a rush fee?

No. Our pricing is IASME-aligned with no rush surcharge for 24-hour turnaround.

What information do you need from us first?

Headcount, list of cloud services in use, list of in-scope OS versions, who manages your IT, and your tender deadline. We can take this on a 30-minute call.

What if we are not prepared?

We will tell you on the readiness call. A 3–5 working day certification is usually possible even if there are gaps. We help you fix them.

Is the certificate buyer-verifiable?

Yes. Once issued, your certificate is on the public IASME register within 24 hours – buyers can verify it themselves.

Urgent Cyber Essentials for Tender Deadlines (24 Hours)

How a 24-hour certification actually works

30-minute readiness call – we confirm fast-track eligibility.
Same-day SAQ completion – we walk you through the Danzell questionnaire.
Pre-submission review – we flag and fix any gaps before formal submission.
Submission – via the IASME certification portal under your account.
Same/next working day issue – we review and issue the certificate as the licensed CB.

What makes 24 hours possible

You already use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace (most fast-tracks do)
MFA is already enforced on all accounts
Devices are on supported OS versions and patched
Anti-malware is running on every endpoint
No legacy authentication protocols open
One named technical contact available the whole day

What stops a 24-hour turnaround

Unsupported operating systems (Windows Server 2012, old macOS)
MFA only enforced on admins
Legacy authentication still permitted
BYOD with no MFA on cloud accounts
Patches missed beyond the 14-day window with no remediation plan

Even with these issues, a 3–5 working day path is usually realistic. We will tell you honestly on the readiness call.
