The process

The Certification Process —
Step by Step

1

Step 1: Pre-Assessment Review (1–2 days)

We review your current IT environment and identify any gaps against the five Cyber Essentials controls. We tell you what you need to fix before you proceed.

2

Step 2: Gap Remediation (1–3 weeks depending on findings)

We fix the gaps. If you are on GEEX One, most gaps will already be closed. If not, we will quote for the remediation work separately.

3

Step 3: Self-Assessment Questionnaire

We work through the questionnaire with you — answering questions based on your documented controls and configuration. We do not leave you to fill it in alone.

4

Step 4: Assessor Review

GEEX submits your completed questionnaire to the IASME certification body for independent verification.

5

Step 5: Certificate Issued

On approval, you receive your Cyber Essentials certificate — valid for 12 months. You can display it on your website, include it in your procurement submissions, and provide it to your insurer.

6

Step 6: Annual Recertification

Cyber Essentials must be renewed annually. We contact you ahead of renewal so it does not lapse.

Our Values

How We Work

We Say What We Mean

No technical jargon designed to make you feel dependent. No upselling you a service you do not need. We tell you what your IT costs, what it covers, and what happens if something goes wrong.

We Show Up

When a critical system fails, you do not want to log a ticket and wait. You want someone on the phone in minutes and a plan in place within the hour. We have built our support model around the assumption that downtime is not acceptable.

We Stay

The average IT relationship in our sector lasts under three years. Some of our clients have been with us for over a decade. We invest in understanding your business because long relationships produce better outcomes for everyone.

We Protect

IT support without cyber security is incomplete. We build protection into every relationship we take on — because the threat landscape has changed, and a helpdesk alone is not enough.

Our Story

From Local IT Provider to Managed IT and Cyber Security Specialist

GEEX was founded in 2004 in Birmingham. We started doing what most IT companies do: fixing problems, setting up networks, and supplying hardware to local businesses. Over 20 years, the work changed — and we changed with it.

The shift happened gradually and then very quickly. Clients started asking us to handle more. Not just fix the laptop that broke, but make sure it never broke again. Not just supply hardware, but manage the devices for the full three-year term. Not just install antivirus, but actively monitor for threats and train staff to recognise them.

The market moved toward managed services. We moved with it. GEEX One is the result — a bundled package that covers IT support, cyber security, and security awareness training at a single fixed price.

oday we support over 700 managed endpoints across 1,000+ clients. We operate nationally but remain rooted in the West Midlands, with Birmingham at the centre of everything we do.

Cyber Essentials - Certification and Compliance

Protect your contracts and reduce your insurance premium

CYBER ESSENTIALS

Your Lease Does Not Cover You Against a Breach

Device leasing keeps your hardware current. It does not protect you against ransomware, phishing, or a compliance audit failure.

If your business handles client data, seeks UK Government contracts, or wants to reduce its cyber insurance premium, Cyber Essentials certification is the next step. We certify at both Basic and Plus level — without you needing to find a separate accreditation body.

GEEX SUPPORT

Hardware Without Support Is Only Half the Answer

You can lease devices through GEEX without taking a support contract. Many clients do. But the ones who add GEEX One get more from every device — because the hardware is monitored, secured, and managed from day one.

When something fails at 9am before a client presentation, you do not want to be searching for a repair company. You want to call one number and have someone on it immediately.

**GEEX One starts from £50 per seat per month.** Add it to your lease and you get support, cyber security, and training all in a single monthly invoice.

The Problem

If You Have a Basic IT Contract, You Probably Have Gaps

The standard MSP model sells you reactive support. Something breaks, you call, they fix it. That worked ten years ago. It does not work now.

Today’s threats do not wait for you to notice something is wrong. Ransomware encrypts your files before anyone raises a ticket. Phishing attacks compromise an email account before IT is even aware of the attempt. Unmanaged endpoints create vulnerabilities that attackers find faster than your IT team does.

We’re here to make a difference

GEEX want to help make a difference in children’s lives.

Teaming up with Acorns Children’s Hospice, we will donate £10 for every order that comes through to GEEX.

Did you know, it can take £7000 to run one centre for one day?
Because of this, we’ve challenged ourselves to donate £10K before the end of the year to support the charity – and you can help too.

Cyber Essentials Plus — The Independent Technical Audit That Goes Beyond Self-Assessment

Cyber Essentials Plus takes everything in Basic and adds an independent technical audit of your systems. A GEEX assessor tests your controls from the outside — the same way an attacker would — and confirms they hold up under scrutiny.

Cyber Essentials Certification — Protect Your Business and Your Contracts

Cyber Essentials Basic is a UK Government-backed certification that proves your business has the five fundamental cyber security controls in place. It is now required for UK Government contracts and is increasingly required by cyber insurers.

cyber-essentials logo

Your Business Cyber Insurance may require this

Cyber Essentials certification is now a condition of many cyber insurance policies, all UK Government contracts, and an increasing number of enterprise supply chains. GEEX certifies at both Basic and Plus level, in-house.
