A customer needs Cyber Essentials. Get organised for it now. Then step up to ISO 27001 without starting again.
A customer contract or a tender is asking for Cyber Essentials, or Cyber Essentials Plus, and it has landed on you. ClearIMS gives you the questions, an owner and a due date for each answer, the evidence behind it, and a clear view of what’s still missing.
£39 a month, no VAT charged. Your Cyber Essentials certificate comes from a Cyber Essentials certification body; ClearIMS helps you prepare.
How ClearIMS gets you organised
Cyber Essentials is a set of questions about your technical controls. The hard part is getting the right answers from the right people, with evidence, before the deadline.
Every question in one place
Work through the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus question bank in one workspace, instead of a spreadsheet emailed back and forth.
An owner and a due date for each answer
Give each answer to the person who knows it, with a date. Less rides on one person, and everyone can see what’s outstanding.
Evidence linked to the answer
Attach the evidence behind each answer, so when someone asks how you know, the answer is already there.
See the gaps before the deadline
Track what’s missing or out of date, and any Plus remediation, so you know where you stand and what to fix first.
When ISO 27001 comes up, you don’t start again
Bigger customers and many tenders go on to ask for ISO 27001. Upgrade to the full plan and the evidence and owners you set up for Cyber Essentials carry across to the matching ISO 27001 controls.

What we never do
We make the software that keeps you organised. The certificate is yours, and it comes from elsewhere.
We don’t award the certificate
Your Cyber Essentials certificate comes from a Cyber Essentials certification body. ClearIMS is not a certification body.
We don’t send in your assessment
You answer and send your assessment through your certification body. ClearIMS helps you get the answers and evidence ready first.
We don’t promise the outcome
Your certification body decides. We help you see the gaps early, so you can fix them before they look.
Questions about the Cyber Essentials plan
How much is it?
£39 a month, billed monthly. No VAT charged. The certification body charges separately for the Cyber Essentials assessment itself.
Does it cover Cyber Essentials Plus?
Yes. The question bank covers Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, and you can track any Plus remediation alongside your answers.
Do you issue the Cyber Essentials certificate?
No. Your certificate comes from a Cyber Essentials certification body. ClearIMS helps you prepare: the questions, the owners, the evidence and the gaps.
What happens if we need ISO 27001 later?
Upgrade to the full ISO 27001 plan. The evidence and owners you set up for Cyber Essentials carry across to the matching ISO 27001 controls, so you don’t start again.
