Cyber Essentials Certifications for Businesses and Charities

Cyber Essentials helps protect your business and demonstrates your commitment to cyber security. Created by the UK government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the scheme sets out 5 essential controls to safeguard your organisation against common cyber threats.

IASME Certification Bodies are accredited companies authorised to assess organisations against recognised cyber security standards. They evaluate whether your organisation meets the required criteria and, if successful, issue the relevant Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Why Use a Certification Body?

Leveraging our extensive knowledge and experience, we provide full Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification services. Cyber Essentials is completed via self-assessment, while Cyber Essentials Plus requires a thorough audit of your IT environment. We can also provide guidance and consultancy to help organisations meet the required criteria, whether it’s your first time or you’re seeking additional support. Once all criteria are met, we issue the relevant certification, whether Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus.

We provide full Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification services, and were the first company in Cambridge to issue both. Cyber Essentials is self-assessed, while Cyber Essentials Plus is audited to verify that the required cyber security controls are correctly implemented. Whether it’s your first time or you need extra support, we offer guidance and consultancy to help you achieve certification.

85%

Of data breaches are due to human mistakes, often through users that have not had cyber awareness training with attacks such as phishing or social engineering. Many of these are avoidable.
