Is Wolds Cyber an alternative to IT Governance for Cyber Essentials?

For Yorkshire SMBs buying CE toolkits or readiness services from IT Governance, Wolds Cyber is a relevant alternative. Wolds Cyber offers end-to-end CE and CE+ certification — gap assessment, readiness work, submission handling, one resubmission, named lead engineer, and a 30-day post-cert retest window — at published fixed prices from £1,250 (CE) and £2,495 (CE+ Micro). We are not a like-for-like replacement for IT Governance's e-commerce toolkit products, but for businesses wanting a delivered service rather than a DIY toolkit, the comparison is relevant.

IT Governance's certification shop has moved to GRC Solutions

Q: What happened to IT Governance's certification shop?

IT Governance's e-commerce shop — where many businesses bought Cyber Essentials toolkits, ISO 27001 documentation, and staff awareness training — has been redirected to GRC Solutions. GRC Solutions is the new commercial entity carrying those products. Searches for IT Governance certification products may land on unfamiliar pages or redirects.

If you were using IT Governance's shop for Cyber Essentials toolkits, documentation, or compliance products — the shop is now redirecting to GRC Solutions. Here is what changed, and what Yorkshire businesses might consider instead.

What changed

This page is factual only. Wolds Cyber has no commercial relationship with IT Governance or GRC Solutions. We are not commenting on the quality of their products — only describing the change factually.

IT Governance Limited was a well-known UK supplier of GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) products — Cyber Essentials toolkits, ISO 27001 documentation packs, staff awareness training, and similar. Their e-commerce shop was a common entry point for businesses working towards Cyber Essentials or ISO certification independently.

The IT Governance shop is now redirecting traffic and products to GRC Solutions — the successor commercial entity. If you bookmarked IT Governance product URLs, you will land somewhere different. GRC Solutions holds those products and the IT Governance brand; the underlying content has moved rather than disappeared.

If you are a Yorkshire SMB looking for delivered CE or compliance work

IT Governance's toolkit approach was suited to businesses that wanted to do readiness work in-house. Wolds Cyber is a different model — a delivered service where we do the gap assessment, guide the remediation, and handle the submission. If in-house toolkits were the right fit, GRC Solutions still has them. If you want the work done for you at a published fixed price, we are worth comparing.
