Achieving Cyber Assurance Certification Body status positions, us to provide comprehensive support to businesses of all sizes, offering a pragmatic and holistic approach to cybersecurity. By attaining this certification, we can empower organisations to navigate their cybersecurity journey with confidence, ensuring adherence to industry standards and the effective safeguarding of their digital assets.” 

Support from IASME

IASME is the Government’s Cyber Essentials partner, and responsible for delivering the Cyber Essentials scheme. Cyber Essentials is a baseline cyber security scheme required by many government contracts, it focuses on five technical controls that protect organisations of all sizes against most commodity cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials Plus starts with the Cyber Essentials questionnaire but also includes a technical audit of your systems to verify that the Cyber Essentials controls are in place. IASME also delivers their own risk based cyber security certification scheme called the IASME Cyber Assurance. This certification requires that the organisation has already achieved Cyber Essentials and offers a next step. It offers SMEs an affordable alternative to ISO 27001 and provides assurance that they have put in place a range of important security, governance, privacy and data protection measures.

IASME CEO, Dr Emma Philpott MBE says, “We welcome Incursion Cyber Security to our Certification Body Network and look forward to working together to help organisations of all sizes protect themselves from cyber threats.”
