vSOC CERT

Streamline Your Certification Process with the Cyber Essentials Review Tool

The vSOC CERT portal easily empowers you to monitor and meet Cyber Essentials requirements 24/7, ensuring continuous cyber security improvements, not just annual ‘point in time’ compliance.

Key benefits include:

See instantly if you are Cyber Essentials compliant
Identify critical Cyber Essentials vulnerabilities
View, allocate and manage all remediation actions
Deliver business assurance and reduce the risk of attack
Streamlined the recertification process

Our platform integrates all five technical controls present within Cyber Essentials and has been designed to solve the common problems we see as a certification body.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Gain business assurance with the Government backed scheme, proving to your customers and partners that you take cyber security seriously. With Cyber Essentials, your organisation will be secure from the most common cyber attacks.

The five core technical controls for both standards are: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and patch management.

The Certification Process

The core controls and questions for both level of accreditation are the same. Unlike the basic standard, Cyber Essentials Plus requires an external audit to verify questionnaire answers.

vSOC CERT is a powerful and intuitive tool to use for both standards. There are multiple paths available, starting from £600. Feel confident that you have 360° visibility of critical metrics relating to Cyber Essentials and that you can prioritise remediation tasks.

vSOC Connect

For organisations that are interested in continuing to mature their vulnerability management strategy, they can opt to add the vSOC Recon dashboard. This service identifies and prioritises a much larger range of vulnerabilities than vSOC CERT, which only highlights those that would fail the Cyber Essentials accreditation.

Data Connect understand that affordability and ease of management are fundamental in improving an organisation’s cyber security posture. Therefore, we offer our customers the flexibility to choose exactly which services they would like to use in our vSOC Connect Console, depending on their business model and budget.
