Cyber Essentials Deadline Fast Approaching – Are You on Track?

The requirement for Cyber Essentials certification is now firmly in place for all colleges and special post-16 institutions for the 2024/25 funding year. With the deadline looming, many organisations are already well into their preparations – but if you’re not quite there yet, you’re certainly not alone.

Whether you’ve started the process and hit a few roadblocks, or you’re only now turning your attention to it, there’s still time to get everything in order – and DMS is here to help.

We understand that juggling security requirements alongside day-to-day pressures isn’t easy, especially in education settings where time and resources are already stretched. That’s why we offer a supportive, no-fuss approach to getting you certified in time.

How we can support:

  • Initial Readiness Review
    We’ll take a look at your current setup and highlight any gaps or areas that may need attention.
  • Clear and Practical Action Plan
