Fully Managed Cyber Essentials Subscription
A Cyber Essentials subscription turns the UK’s leading cyber security scheme from a one-off certificate to a continuous security programme. Book a call today to learn how we keep you compliant all year round.
Becoming Cyber Essentials certified is one thing. Staying compliant is another.
Cyber Essentials protects you against most common threats, but only as long as the controls behind it remain in place. Staff changes, new devices and software updates erode those controls over time, which means the protection you certified for at the start of the year isn’t necessarily in place by the end.
At Method, we constantly monitor your environment and take proactive steps to maintain Cyber Essentials controls. You remain protected year-round, stay compliant with insurers and regulatory bodies, and make renewal a formality rather than another project.
Why businesses choose a Cyber Essentials subscription
A subscription does more than protect your certificate. It keeps your defences current, gives you something concrete to show clients and insurers, and makes the annual renewal process a formality.

We scan your systems regularly for missing patches and known weaknesses. Unpatched software is one of the most common reasons businesses fail their assessment, and one of the easiest routes in for an attacker.
Every new starter, new app and new sign-in method is a chance for multi-factor authentication to be missed. We check your coverage each month so that a single unprotected account doesn’t undermine your entire ecosystem.
We verify that anti-malware is installed, running and up to date on every device in your estate, and flag anything that's been disabled or left behind. It’s easy to miss a lapsed anti-malware subscription, but it's exactly the sort of gap that fails an assessment.
We check that firewalls are active and correctly configured on every endpoint, not just at your network boundary. Devices that spend time outside the office need their own protection, and this is where compliance quietly breaks down.
Every quarter you receive a clear summary of what we’ve checked, what we’ve found and what we’ve fixed. It’s written for a board or a client, not an engineer, so you can hand it straight to whoever’s asking.
We take proactive steps to improve your security posture and keep you compliant. That’s the difference between a monitoring service and a managed one, and it’s why your renewal shouldn’t need any remedial work.
Why choose Method for a Cyber Essentials subscription?
We’re one of a handful of companies in the country approved as both a Cyber Essentials Certification Body and a Cyber Advisor Scheme Assured Provider. That means we don’t just tell you what the standard requires; we assess against it and can make the changes ourselves.
You get one team handling monitoring, fixes and certification, with full assurance that you’ll remain compliant.
