The Benefits of IASME Cyber Assurance
Reduce security risks – IASME Cyber Assurance helps you reduce the likelihood and impact of risks – in a structured way. It covers not only identifying risks, but protecting your organisation, detecting attacks, and responding to and recovering from incidents.
Undergo an assessment targeted at SMEs – Some larger security standards aren’t really aimed at small to medium-sized organisations, in terms of price or scope. But IASME Cyber Assurance is pitched at a level that’s appropriate.
Work with an experienced adviser – Just as we do with Cyber Essentials, we aim to work with you on IASME Cyber Assurance in a friendly and approachable way. Our dedicated assessor can work with you to review and verify how effective your security measures are – offering guidance where you need it.
