Cyber Assurance
Demonstrate your commitment to cyber security with a government-backed standard.
The IASME Cyber Assurance standard was developed as part of a government-funded project to create an affordable and achievable alternative to ISO 27001.
Achieving ISO 27001 can run into the tens of thousands of pounds. Cyber Assurance allows you to demonstrate to your clients your cyber security standard and shows that you are taking steps to secure your customer’s sensitive data.

What Is the Scope of IASME Cyber Assurance?
IASME Cyber Assurance helps organisations achieve an excellent level of information security in a cost-effective manner. It is particularly suited to SMEs who want to demonstrate to clients and business partners that they are managing data securely.
The activities required to meet the standard are divided into thirteen themes. You will need to meet the requirements of these themes to achieve compliance with the standard.
| • Planning information security | • Physical and environmental protection | • Technical intrusion |
| • Organisation | • People | • Backup and restore |
| • Assets | • Policy realisation | • Secure business operations |
| • Legal and regulatory landscape | • Managing access | • Resilience |
| • Assessing and treating risks |
How Do We Achieve Accreditation?
IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 is a self-assessed questionnaire where we provide access to an online portal where you can complete the questionnaire in your own time. Once you submit your answers, we review your submission and schedule a feedback call to discuss any non-compliance issues.
IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 usually involves interviews with members of staff and a review of documentation and system configuration. It does not involve a technical assessment unless you are being assessed for Cyber Essentials Plus at the same time.
We may need to visit branch offices or other locations in order to satisfy themselves that your good security practice is reflected across the organisation.
Our team of experts can provide bespoke consultancy services to assist your team in meeting and maintaining the high standard of security required.
With our expert advice, you’ll pass first time.
What Is the Difference Between IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 And Level 2?
Based on international best practice, IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 is risk based and includes key aspects of security such as incident response, staff training, planning and operations.
IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 involves an on-site audit of your governance processes and procedures covered by the IASME Cyber Assurance standard. IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 is an independent on-site audit of the level of information security provided by your organisation.
