Evolution Managed Services achieves Cyber Essentials Plus certification & expands offerings

At Evolution Managed Services, we are committed to strengthening our cybersecurity expertise and delivering greater value to our clients. As part of this commitment, we recently supported a St. James’s Place Partner with their Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) recertification. This experience reinforced the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, leading us to upgrade our own certification from Cyber Essentials (CE) to Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+).

Strengthening our cybersecurity expertise

Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme designed to help businesses protect themselves against common cyber threats. While the standard Cyber Essentials (CE) certification focuses on core security measures, Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) requires a more rigorous assessment, including hands-on technical verification.

By achieving CE+, we have enhanced our own cybersecurity resilience while also reinforcing our ability to guide clients through the certification process with first-hand experience. To support this, we partnered with a trusted certification provider, strengthening our service offering and ensuring businesses can obtain or renew their CE or CE+ certifications efficiently.

Expanding our Cyber Essentials services

Since achieving Cyber Essentials Plus, we have seen a growing demand from businesses needing support with certification. With organisations increasingly required to meet cybersecurity compliance standards, particularly those working in regulated industries, government contracts and supply chains, Cyber Essentials is becoming an essential part of business security.

In response, we are now positioned to:

• Assist businesses in achieving Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
• Provide expert guidance on meeting compliance requirements and securing IT infrastructure.
• Offer ongoing cybersecurity support to maintain compliance and protection against evolving threats.

Why Cyber Essentials Plus matters

Cyber Essentials Plus is more than just a certification it’s a proactive step toward securing critical business data. It demonstrates to clients, partners and stakeholders that an organisation is serious about cybersecurity and has undergone rigorous testing to verify its defences.

For many businesses, CE+ certification is not just a best practice but a necessity, particularly when working with sensitive client data or within regulated industries. Achieving CE+ is a clear statement of commitment to cyber resilience.
