Cyber Essentials UKContinuous Monitoring & CE Plus Support
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus are increasingly required for UK government contracts, NHS Digital registration, and competitive cyber insurance premiums. Gridisys provides the continuous monitoring and structured evidence that supports your CE certification — and keeps your controls proven every day after assessment.
Why Cyber Essentials Matters for UK Businesses
The Five Cyber Essentials Controls
How Gridisys monitoring supports each control:
Firewalls
Boundary and host-based firewalls to protect against unauthorised network access.
Gridisys: Our monitoring detects lateral movement and anomalous network-originating sign-in patterns that indicate firewall gaps.
Secure Configuration
Devices and software configured to reduce cyber vulnerabilities.
Gridisys: We monitor your Entra ID and Google Workspace security configurations for drift from secure baseline states.
User Access Control
User accounts, particularly privileged accounts, are protected and managed appropriately.
Gridisys: Every privilege escalation, admin role assignment, and account creation/deletion is monitored in real time.
Malware Protection
Protection against malware and other malicious software.
Gridisys: Our identity monitoring detects the post-exploitation behaviour that follows successful malware infections — account pivoting, credential dumping, lateral movement.
Patch Management
Devices running software with the latest security patches.
Gridisys: We monitor Entra ID sign-in logs for devices flagged as non-compliant with patch policies under Conditional Access.
