Secure the cert. Win the kitchen work.
Developers, contractors, councils and kitchen retailers increasingly expect installers to meet basic cyber security standards before approving suppliers.
We help kitchen fitting businesses get Cyber Essentials ready without the jargon. Based near Chesterfield, we support installers across Derbyshire, Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the wider UK.
No certificate can mean no access to the job.
Many supply chains now expect Cyber Essentials as a baseline. Without it, kitchen installers can be excluded from frameworks, retailer partnerships and larger contracts.
