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 organisations authorised to assess businesses against nationally recognised cyber security standards. They independently evaluate whether your organisation meets the required criteria and, once successful, award the official Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification giving you trusted assurance that your defences meet the UK government–backed standard for cyber protection.
Achieving Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification helps your organisation demonstrate that your systems, data, and reputation are protected to a government-backed standard.
With expert guidance every step of the way, you’ll understand what’s required, close any gaps, and gain the confidence that your defences meet recognised UK cyber security standards.
Cyber Essentials is completed through a guided self-assessment, while Cyber Essentials Plus involves an independent audit to confirm that your security controls are in place and effective.
Whether it’s your first time pursuing certification or you’re renewing, we’ll make the process clear, stress-free, and fully aligned with your organisation’s goals allowing you to focus on running your business while we help safeguard it.
As an IASME Certification Body, we are authorised to assess and certify organisations against a range of cyber security standards, including Cyber Essentials and IASME Cyber Assurance. Our experienced assessors work closely with businesses of all sizes to help them improve their security posture and demonstrate compliance with industry-recognised frameworks.
IASME is one of the five Cyber Essentials Partner Bodies appointed by the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It manages and delivers the Cyber Essentials and IASME Cyber Assurance schemes to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats and meet data protection and regulatory requirements.
We are qualified to assess and certify against the following IASME standards:
• Cyber Essentials – A Government-backed certification designed to help organisations guard against the most common cyber threats.
• Cyber Essentials Plus – An enhanced version of Cyber Essentials, which includes hands-on technical verification and testing.
• IASME Cyber Assurance – A more comprehensive, risk-based standard that includes data protection, staff awareness, and incident response.
Without suitable protection, on average, organisations take over 200 days to detect and contain a data breach, which dramatically increases recovery costs.
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.
Studies have found that nearly 60% of breaches exploited known vulnerabilities for which a patch was already available but had not been applied in time!
