Why this matters

Pricing questions matter because buyers are often trying to distinguish the mandatory scheme fee from assessor support, resubmission charges, consultancy add-ons, VAT, and any urgency premium. A low headline price is only useful if the buyer can see what is included and what could still cost extra.

Fig publishes Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus prices by organisation size, uses the same product catalogue across checkout and pricing pages, and explains VAT and resubmissions before purchase. The buyer should know the total certification path before paying, not after a failed first submission.

What to check next

  • Check the organisation size tier before buying.
  • Confirm whether VAT, re-submissions, and support are included.
  • Use the readiness checker before submitting if you are unsure about MFA, patching, BYOD, or scope.

Official sources and related Fig guidance

For scheme-level confirmation, use the official NCSC and IASME resources rather than relying on a supplier claim alone. Fig Group links to these sources because Cyber Essentials buyers should be able to verify the scheme, the administrator, and the certificate record independently.
