14 Days to Prove It: The New Cyber Essentials Patch Auto-Fail Rules Recording
About this Webinar
Cyber Essentials has required high-risk and critical security updates to be applied within 14 days for years. As of April 2026, two security update management questions are now auto-fail. If your organisation cannot meet the requirement, the assessment fails.
Join Action1 for a practical session on what this means for UK IT teams, where patching processes commonly fall short, and how to stay within the 14-day window across distributed environments.
In this recording, we cover:
- What changed in Cyber Essentials 2026 and what is now auto-fail
- What falls under the 14-day patching requirement
- Where third-party apps, remote endpoints and approvals create delays
- How to verify that every in-scope endpoint has been remediated
- What evidence you need for the certification process
- How to build a reliable 14-day remediation workflow
