The NCSC Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that an organisation has the right baseline of cyber security controls in place to mitigate risk. The government-backed programme covers key areas of your business including firewalls and routers, security updates, access control, malware protection and secure configuration. It is a self-certification that is renewed annually.

The benefit – mitigating the risk of a cyber-attack, while gaining automatic cyber liability insurance (for any UK business certifying their entire organisation with less than £20m annual turnover).

NCSC Cyber Essentials Plus is an independent technical audit of your organisation’s IT systems to verify that the NCSC Cyber Essentials controls are in place – it gives more assurance that you are complying with the scheme.  Based on the same technical requirements as NCSC Cyber Essentials, the audit covers a representative set of user devices, all internet gateways and all services accessible to the internet.  As an IASME certification body we provide expert advice, assist with your audit and support you through your compliance journey.

The IASME Cyber Assurance certification has been written to address the security needs of organisations of all sizes, from sole practitioners to larger enterprises. It is a comprehensive and affordable way to demonstrate you have the right controls in place related to cyber security and data protection – within a supply chain. It aligns with the UK Government’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security framework and covers areas such as physical security, staff awareness and data backup.

For any business outside the UK, IASME Cyber Baseline helps demonstrate adherence to basic cyber security measures. The certification incorporates international cyber hygiene standards and best practices and addresses eight key areas, including: organisation, assets, architecture, training people, technical intrusion, managing access and resilience.
