Some clients prefer to compile answers on a spreadsheet before submitting.
You can download the Cyber Essentials questionnaire in spreadsheet format here:
Montpellier will be superseded by the Willow Question Set from April 28th 2025
Be aware that this document cannot be imported/uploaded to the portal. The questions must be answered again on the portal.
Remember, Indelible Data offers a Cyber Essentials – GOLD PACKAGE which includes 24hr assessment of the submission on the portal with assessment and certification costing from £500+VAT. You can pay in our shop for this service which includes:
- Assessing the responses and giving feedback identifying points of failure to be addressed
- 1hr call with technician
- Issuing a certificate within 24hrs of submission to the portal
Companies have a better “first time” pass rate if they have been assisted by a QG ACE Practitioner (see list)
We endeavour to keep in close contact with companies / institutions until they have passed.
