In January 2022, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) announced an update of the Cyber Essentials technical controls. At the time, organisations who were looking to be assessed against the new standards were given a grace period of up to 12 months for some of the requirements.

This grace period was due to end in January. However, the grace period has been extended for a further three months until April 2023. Read more about the Cyber Essentials grace period extension.

The NCSC will host a live Digital Loft webinar to share a first look at the changes to Cyber Essentials technical requirements and new guidance

The webinar will take place on Tuesday 24 January 2023 from 10:30am to 12 noon. A further ‘deep dive’ session will take place on 14 March 2023 to explore the Cyber Essential changes in depth.
