London assessor note

Bromley organisations usually need Cyber Essentials for practical buyer-side reasons: public-sector DDQs, supplier onboarding, insurance renewal, or regulated-client procurement. The scoping conversation normally starts with professional services, the devices used to access organisational data, and the cloud services that require MFA under v3.3.

Bromley Cyber Essentials pricing

Cyber Essentials starts at £299.99 + VAT for micro organisations (1-9 employees). Cyber Essentials Plus starts at £1,499 + VAT.

Why Bromley businesses choose Fig Group

Bromley is the largest London borough by area and hosts a strong professional-services and financial-services back-office community, with many firms providing outsourced functions to City clients. Healthcare suppliers to Bromley Healthcare and the Princess Royal University Hospital, and educational suppliers across the borough's many schools, frequently require Cyber Essentials. Fig Group certifies Bromley organisations remotely or with optional on-site visits, with the same flat published fee and six-hour turnaround applied across our other London clients.

Top three compliance triggers for Bromley businesses

1. Local-authority and public-sector procurement in Bromley

Tenders published by Bromley Council (and by the NHS trusts whose catchment covers the borough) routinely name Cyber Essentials as a baseline supplier requirement under PPN 014/21 and the corresponding council standing orders. Any business in Bromley bidding on council framework agreements, social-value-weighted contracts, or health-and-care services via the local ICB will see Cyber Essentials listed on the cover page of the DDQ. Fig Group certifies Bromley suppliers within six hours of a compliant submission, which matters when a council mini-competition window is short.

2. Enterprise and regulated-customer pressure in Bromley

Beyond the public sector, the private-sector customers of Bromley businesses increasingly treat Cyber Essentials as a baseline on supplier onboarding. In Bromley the concentrations are in professional services, financial services back-office, healthcare (Bromley Healthcare, each of which carries its own supplier cyber expectation set (FCA operational resilience for financial counterparties, SRA data-handling requirements for legal work, NHS DSPT alignment for health, ICO reasonableness for any processor of personal data). A self-assessed Cyber Essentials certificate typically clears stage-one of the DDQ; Cyber Essentials Plus is what wins the stage-two competition.

3. Professional indemnity and cyber insurance in Bromley

Professional-indemnity and cyber insurance underwriters now apply higher retention loadings (or decline altogether) to Bromley businesses that cannot demonstrate baseline cyber hygiene. Cyber Essentials is the lowest-friction evidence that most brokers accept at renewal. Some underwriters now treat Cyber Essentials Plus as a precondition for writing certain cyber sub-limits at all. Fig Group's Plus certification includes the external vulnerability scan and sampled endpoint audit as standard - no separate scanning fee, no mandatory consultancy day.

What we certify for Bromley organisations

Scope on a Bromley Cyber Essentials engagement typically covers every device used for business purposes - laptops, desktops, mobile phones, tablets - that can access organisational data or cloud services. It covers the network perimeter (router, firewall, WiFi access points) that the devices sit behind. It covers the identity platform (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, or the Active Directory forest) that authenticates each user. It covers the security-relevant SaaS applications in use - email, file storage, collaboration, CRM, any line-of-business application with authentication.

For a typical Bromley organisation in professional services, the five NCSC control categories translate as follows. Firewalls and internet gateways: the border router and any WiFi access points must have non-default admin credentials and published patches applied within fourteen days. Secure configuration: all in-scope devices must have an MDM baseline applied, unused accounts disabled, and auto-lock enforced. Security update management: operating-system and application patches must land within fourteen days of release. User access control: multi-factor authentication is mandatory under v3.3 for every user account accessing organisational data. Malware protection: endpoint protection (Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne or equivalent) must be active on every in-scope endpoint.

The Cyber Essentials Plus assessment adds an external vulnerability scan of internet-facing assets and a sampled technical audit of end-user devices - for a Bromley organisation that is typically a short set of video calls plus a remote screen-share of a sample laptop, spread across one to three working days.

Getting to Fig Group's office from Bromley

Our office at 167-169 Great Portland Street, W1W 5PF, is the closest IASME-licensed certification body to Bromley for any scoping session you would prefer to run in person. The nearest Underground stations are Great Portland Street (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan - two minutes' walk) and Regent's Park (Bakerloo - five minutes' walk). Warren Street (Victoria, Northern) is ten minutes' walk via Fitzrovia. For most Bromley organisations the straightforward route is a single Central, Northern or Circle line change onto the short Fitzrovia / Marylebone corridor. The vast majority of our engagements run remotely - we mention the office only because several Bromley clients have asked for in-person scoping calls for Plus assessments where the head of IT and the CRO both want to be in the room.

Frequently asked questions - Cyber Essentials in Bromley

Can Fig Group certify businesses in Bromley?

Our central-London office at 167-169 Great Portland Street is a short journey from every part of Outer London, and most engagements run remotely so location is rarely a factor. We apply our published flat fee (from £299.99 + VAT for Cyber Essentials, from £1,499 + VAT for Cyber Essentials Plus) regardless of where in Bromley your organisation is based.

How long does Cyber Essentials take for a Bromley business?

For self-assessed Cyber Essentials, Fig Group guarantees certification within six hours of a compliant submission landing in our portal. If anything needs adjusting we include three free review rounds. Cyber Essentials Plus takes one to three working days because it includes an external technical audit and vulnerability scan. The same SLAs apply whether your business is in Beckenham or anywhere else in Bromley.

How do I get Cyber Essentials in Bromley?

Start by scoping the devices, cloud services, and user accounts in use across your Bromley organisation. Purchase the self-assessed Cyber Essentials package on the published flat fee (from £299.99 + VAT), complete the NCSC five-control questionnaire through our portal, and an IASME-licensed Fig Group assessor reviews it the same working day. Compliant submissions are certified within six hours. If anything needs adjusting you receive up to three free feedback rounds. No travel to Bromley is required - the entire process runs remotely, which is how we keep the six-hour turnaround consistent across every London borough.

What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for Bromley businesses?

Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed control questionnaire reviewed by an IASME-licensed assessor, from £299.99 + VAT. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an external vulnerability scan and a hands-on technical audit of a sample of end-user devices, from £1,499 + VAT. For many Bromley organisations (supplier frameworks, enterprise procurement, insurance) the self-assessed level is enough. For regulated sectors represented in Bromley - professional services, financial services back-office - the Plus certification is increasingly the requested tier. Fig Group offers both on a published flat fee with no revenue-based pricing.

Do Bromley-based NHS, council, or professional services suppliers need Cyber Essentials Plus specifically?

It depends on what they handle. Cyber Essentials (self-assessed) is enough to pass most Bromley council framework DDQs and the opening stage of most enterprise procurement gates. Cyber Essentials Plus is increasingly the expectation for suppliers touching patient data, legal privilege material, bound-business insurance records, or any central-government contract handling sensitive or personal information under PPN 014/21. When in doubt, ask the procurement team for the exact wording on the DDQ - if "Plus" or "externally verified" appears, you need Plus. Fig Group's Plus engagement includes the external vulnerability scan and sampled endpoint audit at the published flat fee.

How quickly can I get Cyber Essentials certified?

Fig Group guarantees Cyber Essentials certification within 6 hours of self-assessment submission for orders placed before midday, provided the submission is compliant. If corrections are needed, up to three rounds of structured feedback are included at no extra cost. Cyber Essentials Plus takes 1-3 working days due to the external technical verification requirement.

How much does Cyber Essentials cost?

Cyber Essentials costs from £299.99 + VAT (micro, 1-9 employees) to £549.99 + VAT (large, 250+ employees). Cyber Essentials Plus costs from £1,499 + VAT to £4,499 + VAT. Fig Group pricing is fully inclusive - no hidden fees, no assessment surprises, no mandatory add-ons.

Is Cyber Essentials mandatory?

Cyber Essentials is required under PPN 014/21 for certain UK central-government contracts that handle sensitive or personal data. It is also increasingly required by NHS supplier frameworks, local authorities, and private-sector enterprise procurement teams as evidence of foundational cybersecurity.

What are the five Cyber Essentials controls?

The five controls are: firewalls and internet gateways, secure configuration, security update management (patching within 14 days), user access control, and malware protection. Under v3.3, multi-factor authentication (MFA) becomes mandatory for all user accounts in scope. This applies to assessment accounts created from 28 April 2026 onwards.
