IASME Cyber Assurance

Helping you achieve advanced information assurance standards

What is IASME Cyber Assurance?

IASME Cyber Assurance is a comprehensive, risk-based framework that enables organizations to demonstrate their commitment to cyber security and effective IT governance. Designed to be an accessible and cost-effective alternative to ISO 27001 for smaller organizations, it provides a structured approach to managing information security risks.

The certification is available in two tiers:

Level 1 – Self-Assessment:
Organizations complete a self-assessment to demonstrate compliance with IASME Cyber Assurance standards.
Level 2 – Audited:
An external audit, including an in-depth review of policies and interviews with key personnel, ensures adherence to the standard.

IASME CYBER ASSURANCE: FIVE KEY AREAS

IASME Cyber Assurance helps organizations implement strong cybersecurity practices by focusing on these five core areas. These areas are a consolidated list of the thirteen themes of IASME Cyber Assurance.

Identify & Classify

Define security roles, manage assets, and comply with regulations. A structured risk assessment helps mitigate threats.

Access & Control

Restrict system and data access to authorized users. Regular reviews prevent unauthorized access and cyber intrusions.

Protect & Secure

Safeguard physical and digital assets, train staff, and improve security operations to counter evolving threats.

Backup & Recovery

Reliable backups and recovery plans protect against cyber incidents, ensuring business continuity with minimal disruption.

Respond & Recover

Incident response and security reviews strengthen resilience, reducing the impact of cyber threats and disruptions.

How do we compare?

Our business model focuses on helping organizations raise the minimum defences required as efficiently as possible and, as a by-product, meet the minimum standard required for accreditation. We offer unlimited re-submissions at the CE stage, removing the prevalent and unjust “maximum revenue through maximum failures” business model.

Credibility

We use industry-leading tools, techniques, and custom methodologies for every engagement. Our UK personnel are highly vetted and have achieved national and international standards, including OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, CCNP, CCP IA Auditor, and CCP SIRA.
