Plans and availability

Choose capacity based on licensed client work and activated computers

Starter, Growth and Practice are plans within one Consultant product. Availability is shown independently because a published price does not by itself open checkout. Built for MSPs, IT consultancies, independent consultants and Cyber Advisors supporting client organisations.

Why client-facing teams use Consultant
  1. Keep engagements separate

    Give each client its own local workspace rather than mixing answers, evidence context and actions.

  2. Use one repeatable approach

    Follow the same preparation structure across licensed client engagements.

  3. Keep context close to the work

    Keep supporting context, notes and actions beside the relevant client preparation.

  4. Retain an organised record

    Keep local preparation material and supported outputs together for later review.

How plan allowances are counted

Active client engagement

A licence concept for client work using the Consultant Builder or RightCyber-derived workflow and outputs during the subscription period. Archiving does not delete or lock local files and must not be used to bypass the allowance.

Activated computer

A computer currently activated against the plan. Included computers do not automatically create multiple user accounts or permission to share sign-in credentials.

One core Consultant Workspace; plans change the licensed capacity

Common functionality

  • The Consultant desktop Builder, with the same preparation features on every plan
  • Separate local workspaces for licensed client engagements
  • A selected-client control for moving between created workspaces
  • Questions, responses, evidence context, notes, gaps and actions
  • An assessment year per client, with each finished year kept read-only
  • Supported local preparation outputs and backup controls
  • Tender Outputs on every plan, with your practice name on the documents
  • RightCyber account access for download, activation, licence and billing controls
  • Supported Builder and encoded-workspace updates released during active annual access
Not implied by a plan
  • Activated computers are not named user or team seats
  • Starter cannot hide the “prepared with RightCyber” line; that control is Growth and Practice only
  • No public extra-device add-on is included in the Starter offer
  • Renewal Import reads last year’s answers; it is not a general importer for other tools’ files
  • The official Cyber Essentials assessment is separate
What every plan does for a returning client
  1. An assessment year for each client

    Starting next year’s assessment keeps the finished year inside the same client folder as a closed record, and opens the new year with the organisation details, owners and certificates already recorded. A closed year is read-only, reached through a year picker, and exports and reports come from the current year.

  2. Previous years counted across the portfolio

    The Consultant client list shows how many previous assessment years each client has kept, and the exported quick report records it.

  3. What changed since last year

    On a renewal, a question that was renumbered, reworded, changed in requirement or added carries one line saying what changed, above the guidance shown with that question. The line retires itself once the question set moves on.

  4. Last year’s answers, one row at a time

    Renewal Import reads the IASME portal’s own answer export or assessment report, and works out which question set the document came from, refusing one it cannot identify rather than guessing. Last year’s answers can also be pasted in. Either way every row is confirmed individually, and a question already answered this year is never overwritten.

  5. Device and service lists answered as rows

    The eleven list questions, from networks and network equipment to laptops, servers, tablets and cloud services, are answered as rows with columns instead of prose.

  6. Cyber Essentials Plus preparation

    A checklist built from the client’s own answers of what a Plus assessor will test, with IASME’s published sample-size table, the 90 days the client has after the Cyber Essentials certificate to complete Plus, and the 30 days after the test to fix anything found. Preparation only: the test itself is carried out by a certification body’s assessor.

  7. A question-set stamp on every record

    Each record notes the question set its answers were given against. A record from a different set is refused rather than silently rewritten.

Official Cyber Essentials registration, assessment and certification fees are not included in these prices.

Consultant Starter question workspace showing fictional client answers, guidance and controls for files, notes and actions

Real Consultant Starter capture · fictional client data. It shows the entry points for files, notes and actions; it does not claim that any particular supporting material has been checked.

Visible in the capture
  • Selected-client control
  • Structured questions and guidance
  • Recorded answer state
  • File, note and action entry points
  • Question-level preparation status

Verified scope. There is no current open client-switcher, archive or output screenshot approved for this page. Stale demo captures are not reused as Consultant proof.

One preparation structure across separate clients

The workflow describes verified preparation behaviour. Archiving is not presented as a way to extend or bypass the licensed active-client allowance.

  1. 01

    Create the client workspace

    Register a client engagement and create its own local workspace.

  2. 02

    Open the client you are working on

    Use the selected-client control to move between workspaces without combining their preparation records.

  3. 03

    Work through the preparation

    Keep questions, responses and supporting context together for that client.

  4. 04

    Record gaps and actions

    Keep outstanding preparation work visible instead of hiding it in a separate tracker.

  5. 05

    Produce supported local outputs

    Create the preparation outputs on your own computer and keep the files under your control.

  6. 06

    Repeat within the licence allowance

    Use the same structure for the next licensed active client engagement.

Client information and responsibility

Client work stays in the local Workspace; limited service records stay with RightCyber

Consultant is local-first, not a claim that every piece of product information stays on one computer. The boundary is simpler when the two sides are stated separately.

How client information is divided and protected
Consultant-controlled

Client preparation material

  • Organisation details, answers and notes
  • Evidence references, copied files and screenshots
  • Gaps, actions, owners and dates
  • Local preparation outputs and export history
  • Workspace and Consultant-workspace backups
Held by RightCyber

Access and allowance records

  • Account, sign-in, billing and entitlement records
  • Activated-device identifiers and licence status
  • Limited client registry: public workspace identifier, optional display name, status, timestamps and counts
  • Operational and support records needed to run access

The normal product flow does not upload client answers, evidence, gaps, outputs or backups to RightCyber.

Client permission and protection remain your responsibility

Obtain authority to handle each client’s material, protect the computer and customer-controlled folders, keep restorable backups and redact sensitive information before asking for support.
From checkout to the first client Workspace
  1. 01

    Complete an available plan checkout

    The exact plan must be published and pass its payment and desktop-delivery checks before checkout opens.

  2. 02

    Receive the secure sign-in path

    The checkout email receives the RightCyber account sign-in path after payment is confirmed.

  3. 03

    Download and activate the Builder

    Use the account area to download the applicable desktop installer and activate a computer within the plan allowance.

  4. 04

    Create the first real client workspace

    Register the client workspace, then keep the engagement material in the local Builder.

macOS and Windows delivery

Checkout only opens when the exact plan’s desktop delivery is ready. The Builder runs on macOS 12 Monterey or later and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.

Device replacement

The signed-in account area provides device deactivation before a replacement computer is activated within the allowance.

Annual service

Active access covers the supported Builder release, licence activation and updates RightCyber releases after verification.

Existing client material

Renewal Import brings last year’s answers into a client workspace from the IASME portal’s own answer export or assessment report, or from a paste, one confirmed row at a time. It is not a general importer for other tools’ files.

Preparation software—not an assessor or certification body

Consultant helps you organise preparation work across licensed client engagements. RightCyber does not submit applications, assess clients, award certification or guarantee an outcome. Cyber Essentials Plus technical testing is outside this product.

The official process stays separate

Each client must use the official Cyber Essentials assessment route and its chosen certification body. Their registration, assessment, fees and certification decision are not included in a Consultant plan.

Consultant FAQ

Licence, client and delivery details

What counts as an active client engagement?

It is a client engagement for which you use the Consultant Builder or RightCyber-derived workflow and outputs during the subscription period. The licence allowance is not permission to open extra active workspaces and rotate labels to avoid the stated limit.

Can an archived client be reopened?

Do not rely on archiving as a polished capacity-management workflow. Archiving releases hosted licence metadata but does not delete or lock the local workspace. Reuse must remain within the active-client licence allowance.

Is there a limit on archived clients?

No separate unlimited archived-client entitlement is published. Archived local files remain your responsibility, and archiving must not be used to work around the active-client allowance.

What counts as an activated device?

An activated device is one computer currently activated to use the Consultant Builder under the account. Device allowance is not the same as a user or consultant allowance.

Can I move an activation to a replacement computer?

Consultant Starter provides a signed-in device control for deactivating the current computer before activating a replacement. Deactivation changes licence access; it does not remotely delete local work.

Can several consultants use the same plan?

Multiple activated computers do not automatically create named team seats or permission to share account credentials. No public multi-user team entitlement is published, so ask RightCyber before buying for several staff members.

Where is client preparation information stored?

Client answers, evidence, notes, gaps, actions, local outputs and backups remain on the consultant’s computer or in customer-controlled folders. RightCyber holds account, billing, licence, device and limited client-registry metadata needed to operate access and allowances.

Can I brand client outputs?

Every Consultant plan can put your practice name and an accent colour on the documents the Builder produces for buyers and procurement questions. Hiding the “prepared with RightCyber” attribution line is a Growth and Practice control. Whether or not that line is hidden, every document still states that it is not produced by a certification body and is not an assessment outcome, and still points the reader at the official certificate register, so branding never presents a RightCyber output as an assessment result. Bespoke document design is not included.

Can I change plans during the year?

A self-service mid-year plan-change journey is not currently promised. Contact RightCyber with the account email and the capacity you need before assuming an upgrade or downgrade is available.

Does RightCyber certify my clients?

No. Consultant is independent preparation software. RightCyber does not assess, submit or certify clients, guarantee a result or provide Cyber Essentials Plus technical testing through this product.
