Demonstrate a Broader Commitment to Cyber Security
Securebytes provides support and guidance for organisations working towards IASME Cyber Assurance certification, helping businesses strengthen security governance, improve operational resilience, and demonstrate a more comprehensive approach to cyber security beyond baseline technical controls alone.
IASME Cyber Assurance is a recognised cyber security standard designed for organisations looking to build upon Cyber Essentials by introducing wider security, governance, policy, and risk management controls. The framework helps organisations demonstrate that cyber security is being managed across the organisation as part of a broader and more mature security programme.
For organisations handling sensitive information, operating within regulated industries, or seeking stronger supply chain assurance, IASME Cyber Assurance provides an effective framework for improving organisational cyber resilience.
What Is IASME Cyber Assurance?
IASME Cyber Assurance is a comprehensive cyber security certification framework designed to assess how organisations manage cyber security across policies, procedures, governance, people, technology, and operational processes.
The certification is designed to help organisations demonstrate a broader and more mature approach to cyber security management.
The framework builds upon the technical controls within Cyber Essentials while also assessing areas such as:
- Security governance
- Risk management
- Asset management
- Incident response
- Backup and recovery
- Staff awareness and training
- Supplier and third-party security
- Policies and operational procedures
Why Achieve IASME Cyber Assurance?
IASME Cyber Assurance helps organisations:
- Demonstrate stronger cyber security maturity
- Improve organisational resilience
- Support customer and supply chain assurance
- Strengthen governance and operational security processes
- Improve risk management visibility
- Support insurance and contractual requirements
- Build upon Cyber Essentials certification
For many organisations, IASME Cyber Assurance provides a practical next step after Cyber Essentials by extending security beyond technical controls alone.
