Cyber Risk Assurance Service
IASME Cyber Assurance – a Cyber Security Standard developed through a government-funded project, provides an alternative to ISO27001 for smaller organisations.
Protecting your information assets
This standard focuses on your Information Security Management System (ISMS) and, through a risk-based approach, assesses your people, processes, technology and assets, demonstrating the level of cyber security, privacy & data protection across your organisation.
This standard enables compliance with many UK Laws, legislation and regulations, centred on protecting the three key aspects of your information known as the CIA Triad – Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.
The business value of Cyber Risk Assurance
When combined with Cyber Essentials, these certifications provide a powerful, unified approach to security. They effectively protect your business from common cyber security threats while offering assurances of industry best practices and significantly reducing the risk of cybercrime through robust data compliance.
Furthermore, achieving these certifications demonstrates a clear commitment to information security, quality assurance and security standards, ultimately ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, and industry best practices.
How we work
We begin by taking a holistic view of your organisation. This includes reviewing how decisions are made, how controls are implemented, and how incidents are managed. Then we map this to the relevant assurance standard (such as IASME Cyber Assurance) so you understand where you are now and where you need to go. From there, we support you either with a Level 1 (risk-based appraisal) or Level 2 (independent audit) approach.
We provide ongoing advice so your assurance becomes part of how you operate. Contact us today to discuss your exact requirements.
Your questions answered
-
Level 1 is a risk-based self-appraisal of your environment, controls and practices. Level 2 involves an independent audit of the same scope, providing a more rigorous certification.
-
Not at all. We tailor the approach to your size, complexity and budget, so smaller businesses can benefit too.
-
No, this complements them. While Cyber Essentials focuses on technical controls, assurance looks at your broader risk posture. Together they make a stronger defence.
-
The certification is a milestone, not the endpoint. We continue to support you through review cycles and policy updates to ensure your resilience keeps pace with change.
-
There is a 3-month time limit for completing both the CA and CA+ certification process.
