More about IASME Cyber AssuranceWe guide you through every step, and most of it happens remotely.
We look at your devices, accounts and network against the controls and tell you plainly what's missing.
We sort the gaps: updates, MFA, firewall rules, admin rights. Usually done remotely.
You answer the questionnaire with our help, and we assess and issue the certificate.
We remind you before it lapses and keep your systems compliant all year.
It's rarely about the badge. It's about the work it unlocks and the risk it takes off the table.
Often required for public-sector work, and by larger companies in their supply chain.
Insurers look for it, and it can make cover easier to get.
It shows you've taken sensible steps to protect the personal data you hold.
Both cover the same five technical controls. Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment checked by a certification body. Plus adds a hands-on technical audit of your systems.
With ACS, Cyber Essentials starts from £900 +VAT in year one, depending on the work needed after a survey of your site and IT, and about £640 +VAT to renew. Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME Cyber Assurance are priced after a short assessment.
It depends on how much needs doing and how quickly changes can be rolled out across your business. We start with a survey of your site and IT, then give you a clear plan and timeline. If your systems are already in good shape it can be quick; if there's work to do first, the timeline depends on how soon the security changes are made.
Certainly. We'll work alongside them, or just give them the list of what needs changing.
Not by law. But it's required for many central government contracts that handle personal or sensitive information, the Ministry of Defence expects it from suppliers, and more and more larger firms and insurers ask for it from their supply chain.
Twelve months. To stay certified you renew each year, which with us is about £640 +VAT, and we can remind you before it runs out.
We'd rather you didn't find out at the assessment. That's why we start with a gap check and help you fix what's needed before you submit, so there are no surprises.
Yes. We're based in Dereham and certify businesses across Norfolk, including Norwich, King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth. The Cyber Essentials Plus audit is done on site or remotely, depending on your setup.
A few details and we'll come back the same working day with a fixed price and a realistic timeline.
