What this means for Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials requires all software on in-scope devices to be licensed and supported, so it still gets security updates from its maker. Unsupported software fails, unless it's removed or moved to a separate part of the network that has no internet access at all.
- Updates within 14 days: security updates rated critical or high risk (or CVSS v3 score 7 or above), and those the vendor doesn't rate, must be installed within 14 days of release.
- Paid extended support counts, for example Windows 10 ESU, as long as it's active and the updates are actually installing.
- Phones and tablets count too if they access your organisation's email or data, so check every phone model's support end date.
Work through the full requirements with our Cyber Essentials Checker.
How to read the statuses
- Supported still gets security updates, with more than 6 months to go.
- Ends within 6 months plan the upgrade now. Big moves, like a new server, take months.
- Only with paid support the free updates have stopped. It's only safe if you've paid for extended updates and they're installing.
- Unsupported no more security fixes. New weaknesses found from now on will never be fixed.
Good to know
- Windows feature updates matter. Each Windows 11 version is supported for 24 months on Home and Pro, and 36 months on Enterprise and Education. A PC stuck on an old version stops getting updates even though Windows 11 itself is supported.
- Apple doesn't publish end dates. In practice it patches the latest macOS and the two before it, though older versions don't always get every fix. We show the status from Apple's security releases.
- Android depends on the maker. Google fixes Android itself, but each phone only gets those fixes while its maker supports it. Pixel 8 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy S phones, get up to 7 years.
- Dates come from each vendor's lifecycle page (linked as "Source"), cross-checked with endoflife.date. Status is worked out from your device's date, so it stays current. Vendors sometimes extend dates, so check the source before big decisions.
