Cyber Essentials Plus — Why It Matters More Than Ever in 2025
Published 3 November 2025
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and small businesses are no longer “too small to target.” A single ransomware attack can cost thousands — or even put you out of business. That’s why Cyber Essentials Plus certification is becoming a requirement for many contracts and tenders.
What is Cyber Essentials Plus?
It’s a UK government-backed scheme that helps you protect your organisation from the most common cyber attacks. The “Plus” version involves independent testing of your systems — giving real assurance that your defences work.
Why it’s worth doing
Beyond protecting your data, Cyber Essentials Plus sends a clear message: you take security seriously. It helps build trust with customers, reduces insurance premiums, and opens the door to working with larger organisations.
How Millennium Software can help
We provide end-to-end support — from initial security checks to helping you pass the assessment. We make the process simple, affordable, and jargon-free, ensuring your business meets every requirement.
