Description
IASME Cyber Assurance Level One Verified Assessed helps organisations achieve an excellent level of information security in a cost-effective manner. It is particularly applicable to SMEs who want to demonstrate to clients and business partners that they manage information and data securely. IASME Cyber Assurance Maps to the Government’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security & NIS Directive.
Organisations assess themselves against fourteen themes regrouping different controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.
The IASME Cyber Assurance Level One Verified Self-assessments are available through a secure hosted platform. You will receive a separate email with the login details within 48 hours from the moment you purchase this product. You will have 6 months to complete your assessment before your account is deleted and unfortunately, we cannot issue a refund if this happens.
If you have prepared your answers in advance, filling out the self-assessment might only take about an hour. Once the questions have been submitted, most Assessors will aim to get the results back to you within 3 days. If you have not been successful, you will then have 2 working days to address the issues, update your answers and resubmit. The Assessor will then aim to take no more than 3 days to remark the assessment. Those constitute the 2 attempts.
IAMSE Cyber Assurance Level One support comes under different options:
- Basic support – offers you 1 hour live advisory call to be used before submitting your assessment;
This is ideal to clear out any pending questions or to gain clarification before submitting your application. - Advanced support – offers you the Basic support plus 1 licence to access our self-advisory videos;
This is ideal for organisations who passed the Cyber Essentials the previous year and want to learn about the latest changes. Additional licences can be purchased for additional employees. For example you may want to purchase a licence for your information security manager, and their deputy, or for all your security team. - Premier support – offers you the Advanced support plus one offline pre-assessment.
This usually helps clear up any major issues, especially for organisations who never applied before for the Cyber Essentials.
You will need to renew your certificate annually as it expires after twelve months.
