Start with Cyber Essentials — then grow into CAF when you are ready
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that helps organisations guard against the most common cyber threats. CyConex turns it into a guided, questionnaire-driven experience so smaller teams and supply chains can reach a certification-ready position without wrestling with spreadsheets.
Because Cyber Essentials lives on the same platform as NCSC CAF and NIST, the evidence you gather does not go to waste. As your assurance needs mature, you reuse it — moving from Cyber Essentials into a full CAF programme on one platform.

CyConex presents Cyber Essentials as a structured questionnaire with built-in answer guidance and conditional logic, so you only see the questions that apply to your organisation.
The questionnaire helps you:
This keeps preparation focused and reduces the risk of misunderstanding a requirement before certification.
When answers are complete, CyConex produces a certification-ready view and export so you can move into the formal Cyber Essentials process with confidence.
A clear readiness view shows what is covered, what still needs attention, and where evidence strengthens your position.
Cyber Essentials is often the first step on a longer assurance journey. With CyConex, that first step is not a dead end.
Evidence gathered for Cyber Essentials can be reused as you grow into NCSC CAF, NIST, or your own control catalogue — so maturing your assurance programme does not mean starting again or buying another tool.

CyConex supports CAF-aligned assessment workflows and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NCSC. Organisations subject to regulation should confirm requirements with their competent authority or cyber oversight body. CyConex is in early access and features may evolve.
Yes. Cyber Essentials is a first-class framework in CyConex, with a guided questionnaire, answer guidance, conditional logic, and certification-ready output. It is a natural entry point for SMEs and supply chains, and evidence can be reused as you grow into NCSC CAF.
NCSC CAF is the primary framework — four objectives, fourteen principles, 41 contributing outcomes, and IGPs. CyConex also supports Cyber Essentials, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF 2.0, and custom control catalogues, with structured catalogues and reusable assessment context.
CyConex is an AI-assisted cyber assurance platform built for UK NCSC CAF assessments. It ingests evidence, surfaces it against contributing outcomes and IGPs, and helps qualified assessors reach evidence-led judgements faster — turning days of assurance work into minutes.
