What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment against five security controls. Cyber Essentials Plus tests the same controls with a hands-on technical audit by a licensed assessor. You must hold Cyber Essentials before doing Plus.

Do you do the work, or just assess us?

We do the work. Foresight runs the gap analysis, carries out hands-on remediation, prepares the evidence and liaises with the assessor, so you pass first time rather than paying to re-sit a failed audit.

How much does Cyber Essentials cost?

The IASME assessment fee is tiered by size from around £320 + VAT and includes £25,000 cyber liability insurance for eligible UK businesses. Cyber Essentials Plus is scoped to your estate, typically from around £1,380 + VAT.

Quick answer

Microsoft 365 and cloud migration is the process of moving your email, files and systems into Microsoft 365 and the cloud. Foresight plans and runs it in stages, usually out of hours with no downtime, migrating securely and applying Microsoft 365 security baselines and backup as part of the move — so you land in a hardened, protected environment, licensed correctly as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider.

Why migrate

The cloud, done right the first time

Moving to Microsoft 365 and the cloud should make your business faster, more flexible and easier to secure. Done badly — rushed, with data left behind or a tenant left on insecure defaults — it does the opposite. We plan and run the migration so you get the upside without the disruption or the security gaps.

What we migrate

Email, files, servers and whole tenants

What we move	How
Email to Microsoft 365	Staged, low-risk mailbox migration from Exchange, Google Workspace or another provider, with mail flowing throughout.
Files to SharePoint & OneDrive	Lift on-premise file servers into the cloud with permissions and structure preserved.
On-premise to cloud	Retire ageing servers and move workloads to Microsoft 365 and Azure.
Tenant-to-tenant	Merge or separate Microsoft 365 tenants cleanly after an acquisition or restructure.
Secure by design	Apply Microsoft 365 security baselines (MFA, conditional access) as part of the move, not as an afterthought.
Backup from day one	Set up Microsoft 365 backup so your new environment is protected immediately.

We migrate you into a hardened, backed-up environment — not just a working one.

Migration sits alongside our Microsoft 365 licensing, security baselines and backup & disaster recovery services — so you land somewhere licensed correctly, secured and protected.

FAQs

Common questions

Will migration disrupt our business?

No — that’s the point of planning it properly. We migrate mailboxes and data in stages, usually outside working hours, with mail flowing throughout. Most staff simply arrive to find everything already in the new environment.

Can you move us from another provider or an old server?

Yes. We handle Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant moves, migrations from Google Workspace or older Exchange, and lifting on-premise file servers into SharePoint and OneDrive.

Is our data secure during and after migration?

Yes. We migrate securely and, crucially, apply Microsoft 365 security baselines (MFA, conditional access) as part of the move — so you land in a hardened, not a default, tenant. We also set up backup from day one.

Do you sort out licensing too?

Yes — as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider we get you on the right licences and can manage them for you. See our Microsoft 365 licensing page.

Thinking about moving to the cloud?

Let’s plan it properly. We’ll map what you’ve got, design a low-risk migration, and get you into Microsoft 365 secured, licensed and backed up from day one.
