Establish Baseline Security Hygiene with Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a United Kingdom government-backed framework that establishes a baseline for protecting organizations against the most common cyber threats through five core technical controls and annual certification.
Drata helps teams centralize evidence, map controls, and automate continuous monitoring so they can reduce manual effort, stay prepared for certification, and demonstrate trust as customer and supply chain requirements increase.

Discover the Drata Difference
Apply Foundational Cyber Controls Consistently
Drata maps Cyber Essentials requirements to a centralized, control-centric structure, helping enterprises apply baseline security controls consistently across systems and users.
Teams reduce manual setup and keep Cyber Essentials aligned with other frameworks without maintaining separate documentation or duplicating governance processes.
Validate Supplier Security Against UK Standards
Drata extends Cyber Essentials controls to third-party assessments, helping enterprises evaluate whether suppliers meet required baseline security expectations.
Teams track control alignment, evidence, and ownership across vendors, supporting contract eligibility and supplier assurance without managing reviews outside the platform.
Track Foundational Threat Exposure
Drata links common cyber risks directly to Cyber Essentials controls, ownership, and supporting evidence to give visibility into how foundational threats are addressed.
As environments change, risk alignment remains current without fragmented tracking across tools, teams, or spreadsheets.
Maintain Readiness for Contract Reviews
Drata keeps controls, evidence, and ownership continuously up to date so organizations stay prepared for assessments and contract reviews.
Teams avoid reactive preparation by operating Cyber Essentials as an ongoing security hygiene program rather than a one-time requirement.
