Secure Your Business: The Journey to Cyber Essentials v3.3 (Danzell)
Welcome to our Cyber Essentials Assessment. This interactive survey is designed to help you benchmark your organization’s current security posture. To get the most accurate roadmap for your cyber security journey, please provide honest responses; your score will directly reflect your progress toward certification.
The landscape of UK cyber security is shifting. The current Willow version of the Cyber Essentials (CE) and CE+ assessments will be retired at the end of April 2026. Taking its place is the new v3.3 (Danzell) standard, which introduces stricter requirements for modern businesses.
Key updates in the Danzell v3.3 question set—available from February 2nd, 2026—include mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all cloud services and clearer rules on scoping internet-connected devices. Whether you are an SME or a government supplier, staying compliant is vital for building trust and protecting sensitive data.
Stay ahead of the April 27th deadline by reviewing the latest guidance. For live updates, visit the IASME April 2026 Update or download the full technical requirements directly from the NCSC.
