Protection that's proven
We hold ourselves to the standard we set for you
Cloud 4 Sure is Cyber Essentials certified across the whole organisation. It's the UK government-backed scheme that proves the basic controls stopping most cyber attacks are in place. We run your security to that same standard.
Most attacks on small organisations aren't clever. They get in through an unpatched laptop, a reused password or a phishing email that someone clicked. We close those doors for you, keep them closed, and show you the evidence.

Email & phishing protection
Filtering that stops dangerous emails and links before they reach your staff's inboxes.
Exploited-vulnerability alerts
We check your software against the government's list of actively exploited flaws and fix exposures first.

Cyber Essentials for your organisation
Need your own certificate? We'll get you there
Cyber Essentials is increasingly asked for in tenders, by insurers and by local authorities, and schools and care providers are being pushed towards it. We've just been through it ourselves, so we know exactly what assessors ask.
Readiness check
We review your devices, accounts, firewall and updates against the current question set and give you a plain-English gap list.
Fix the gaps
We sort the failures: unsupported software, missing updates, admin rights, passwords and MFA. Most of it is done remotely.
Submit & pass
We help you answer the questionnaire accurately and handle the assessor's follow-up questions until the certificate is issued.
FAQs
Common questions
What is Cyber Essentials?
A UK government-backed certification showing your organisation has five basic security controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security updates. It's a self-assessment questionnaire checked by an independent certification body.
Do small businesses really get attacked?
Yes. Most attacks are automated and untargeted. They scan for any unpatched machine or weak password, so small organisations with no IT team are often the easiest targets.
Is security included in your support contracts?
Yes. Antivirus, patching, monitoring and alerting are part of our fixed-price managed support. Backup and email filtering are priced per user or device, and we'll quote them up front.
How long does Cyber Essentials take?
Usually a few weeks from readiness check to certificate, depending on how many gaps need fixing. The assessment itself is normally marked within a few working days of submission.
