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.

Frequently Asked Questions
IASME Cyber Assurance is a UK-based cybersecurity standard and certification that goes beyond Cyber Essentials to help organisations reduce risk, protect against attacks, improve detection and response, and demonstrate a structured approach to security.
It’s aimed primarily at small to medium-sized organisations across any sector that want a practical, cost-effective way to enhance their cybersecurity posture and reduce their exposure to cyber threats.
Yes, because IASME Cyber Assurance builds on the Cyber Essentials framework, you must hold a valid Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certificate before seeking IASME Cyber Assurance certification.
Achieving certification helps you:
- Reduce the likelihood and impact of security risks,
- Protect your organisation and detect attacks,
- Respond to and recover from cyber incidents, and
- Reassure stakeholders that their data is protected to a reasonable level.
Redpalm acts as a Certification Body for both Level 1 and Level 2 IASME Cyber Assurance, working with you to review your security measures, offer guidance where needed, and help you meet the standard’s requirements in a friendly, approachable way.
Organisations implement security measures, answer IASME’s required questions, and undergo assessment. With Redpalm’s support, you can prepare thoroughly and Redpalm won’t formally mark answers until you’re ready, helping avoid unnecessary rework or fees.
