Start with the right scope
For UK suppliers and teams preparing for Cyber Essentials.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme focused on foundational technical protection. Cyber Essentials Plus includes a technical assessment. Confirm the current scheme requirements and assessment route with your certification provider.

9 of the 53 domains in this crosswalk appear in both CMMC 2.0 and Cyber Essentials.
A row means the two requirements cover the same ground, so one implementation and one set of evidence can usually serve both. It does not mean satisfying one certifies the other: each framework keeps its own scope, wording and assessment, and some requirements have no counterpart at all. Treat this as a starting map for planning, then confirm each row against the requirement text.

Before you get started
A few useful answers.
Want to discuss your framework and current process?
Talk it through with usDoes Venvera issue Cyber Essentials certificates?
No. Venvera helps you prepare. Certification and any Plus technical assessment are completed through the scheme’s authorised certification process.
Can we use the workspace for Cyber Essentials Plus?
Yes. The module includes a Plus preparation area alongside scope, requirements, evidence and readiness. Your certification provider defines and performs the required technical assessment.
Can we use our existing evidence?
Yes. Bring your policies and supporting evidence into Venvera and link them to the relevant controls. Cross-framework mappings help you identify reusable work; your team still reviews whether the evidence meets each requirement.
What is included in the trial?
The 14-day Professional trial includes up to five frameworks and unlimited users, with no credit card required. You can explore the controls, assess gaps and organise your compliance work. Framework modules are on paid plans; compare plans for feature availability.
