IASME Cyber Assurance

Achieve cyber resilience flexibly and affordably with the IASME Cyber Assurance standard. Holding Cyber Assurance demonstrates that your organisation has the necessary security and data protection controls in place, ensuring you’re protecting your information systems effectively.

The IASME Cyber Assurance standard addresses the security needs of organisations of all sizes, from sole practitioners to large enterprises.

The size of your organisation will determine what controls are applicable, including controls around people, processes, and what businesses should consider regarding General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements. IASME Cyber Assurance is aligned to a similar set of controls as ISO 27001 but is more affordable and achievable for small and medium-sized organisations to implement.
