Seeking Insights from UK Businesses Conducting Cyber Essentials Assessments

Hello UK Cyber Security Community!

I'm reaching out from Australia with a keen interest in understanding more about the Cyber Essentials assessments that many of you are involved in.

As you might know, the Australian Government is gearing up to invest in a cyber health check program, and I'm looking to establish a service here focused on small businesses, drawing inspiration from the Cyber Essentials scheme.

My aim is to keep it simple and accessible for small business owners while ensuring a robust assessment of their cyber security posture.

I would be incredibly grateful to hear from UK businesses and professionals who conduct these assessments. Your experiences, lessons learned, and insights would be invaluable in helping me shape a similar service in Australia.

Specifically, I'm interested in:
Setting Up Your Business: What were the key steps and challenges in setting up a business focused on cyber security assessments?

Systems and Applications: What systems, tools, or applications do you use to conduct and manage these assessments effectively?

Lessons Learned: Any key lessons or advice you'd wish to share with someone looking to start a similar service?

Client Engagement: How do you approach and engage with small businesses for these assessments?

Any Other Tips: Anything else you think might be helpful or wish you knew when you started out.

Feel free to share your stories, tips, and any other information you think might be beneficial. I am all ears and truly appreciate the time and effort to help guide a fellow cyber security enthusiast on the other side of the world.

Best to private message me as I suspect you may not want to reveal some of your business secrets to other UK based businesses.

Thank you so much in advance! submitted by /u/Any_War_322
