Cyber Assurance is a government-backed standard designed to help organisations prove their commitment to data security without the complexity or cost of ISO 27001. Developed through a government-funded initiative, it offers a practical, affordable way to demonstrate robust cyber security controls and reassure clients that sensitive information is protected.

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.
These thirteen themes cover every aspect of robust information security: planning information security, physical and environmental protection, technical intrusion, organisational controls, people, backup and restore, asset management, policy realisation, secure business operations, legal and regulatory compliance, managing access, resilience, and assessing and treating risks. Together, they provide a comprehensive framework to safeguard sensitive data and maintain trust.
What Our Customers Say
ISO 27001 is a globally recognised framework for managing information security risks. While penetration testing is not explicitly required, it plays a crucial role in meeting the standard’s risk assessment requirements by identifying weaknesses in systems and strengthening security controls.

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.
IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 vs Level 2
Level 1 is a risk-based assessment built on international best practice. It focuses on the core elements of cyber security that every organisation should have in place, including incident response planning, staff awareness and training, operational processes, and governance. This level is designed to be achievable and cost-effective, making it ideal for SMEs that want to demonstrate strong security fundamentals without the complexity of a full audit. The assessment is completed through a verified self-assessment process, giving you a practical way to showcase your commitment to protecting sensitive data.
Level 2 takes security assurance a step further by introducing an independent, on-site audit. This audit examines your organisation’s governance processes and procedures in detail, validating that they meet the IASME Cyber Assurance standard. It provides a deeper level of scrutiny and confidence for clients and partners, proving that your security measures are not only documented but actively implemented and effective. Level 2 is ideal for organisations that need to demonstrate a higher level of trust and compliance in sectors where robust information security is critical.
CREST, CHECK & Cyber Scheme Certified
CREST (the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) is an international accreditation with a strict Codes of Conduct and Ethics. CHECK is the Government-backed accreditation from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) which certifies that a company can conduct authorised penetration tests of public sector systems and networks.
All our penetration testers are certified by CREST, with senior consultants certified by CREST to the highest CCT Level. Our testers are also either CHECK Team Leaders (CTL’s) or Team Members (CTM’s).
Security testers that pass the Cyber Scheme exams demonstrate ‘competence and skill at the highest levels’ as defined by the National Technical Authority for Cyber Security (NCSC).
Our team have decades of combined experience and take pride in operating at the highest level of the industry – conducting a broad range of government and commercial tests – and always aim to go the extra mile.
