Cyber Essentials readiness for a tenant: the five controls, requirements evidenced from Microsoft 365, and answers recorded by the consultantCyber Essentials readiness for a tenant: the five controls, requirements evidenced from Microsoft 365, and answers recorded by the consultant

What you get

The five controls

Firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and security update management, requirement by requirement.

Evidence, not opinion

Each requirement Microsoft 365 can show is answered from the tenant, with the setting behind it.

Your answers too

Record answers for what Microsoft 365 cannot show, such as boundary firewalls, so the picture is complete.

Cyber Essentials Plus

Readiness for the Plus technical audit is mapped too.

How it works

  1. 01

    Assess

    Run the assessment; readiness is worked out from it.

  2. 02

    Close the gaps

    Fix what fails, and record answers for the rest.

  3. 03

    Apply

    Take the evidence into the self-assessment with your certification body.

What it can’t see

Said plainly, so you know what you are buying.

  • ConfigCheckup is not a certification body and does not award Cyber Essentials.
  • Some requirements (boundary firewalls, devices outside Intune, software on servers) cannot be seen from Microsoft 365 and need your answer.

Permissions it uses

Microsoft Graph permissions, granted by the client’s admin.

  • Policy.Read.All
  • DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All
  • DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All
  • RoleManagement.Read.Directory

Every permission, and why

Questions

Will this get my client certified?
It shows how ready they are and gives you the evidence. Certification is done by an IASME certification body.
Is there a free version?
Yes. The free Cyber Essentials checklist on this site walks through the requirements without connecting a tenant.
