IASME Cyber Assurance Coventry
The step up from Cyber Essentials for Coventry businesses: a practical, affordable alternative to ISO 27001.

The step up from Cyber Essentials for Coventry businesses: a practical, affordable alternative to ISO 27001.
IASME Cyber Assurance evidences real information governance without the cost and overhead of ISO 27001. For Coventry’s manufacturing, automotive, engineering and university-linked businesses, it is the step up from Cyber Essentials that opens bigger contracts and reassures larger clients.
What it covers
It goes well beyond the five Cyber Essentials controls to cover risk management, data protection, business continuity, incident response and more, mapped to how your business actually runs.
Level 1 and Level 2
Level 1 is a verified self-assessment. Level 2 adds an independent audit for the highest assurance. As an IASME Cyber Assurance Certification Body we help Coventry businesses choose the right level and guide you through, in plain English.
Local, expert support
We are based nearby in Albrighton and work remotely first, with onsite visits across the West Midlands and Shropshire available where they genuinely help. You deal directly with an accomplished ethical hacker with 25 years across IT and cyber security. Solusec is CREST-accredited, a Cyber Essentials and IASME Cyber Assurance Certification Body, and our track record is independently verifiable. No sales team, no jargon.
IASME Cyber Assurance in Coventry
Organisations in Coventry usually reach Cyber Assurance when a customer starts asking about governance rather than just technical controls: how data is handled, how suppliers are managed, what happens when something goes wrong. Given advanced manufacturing around vehicles, propulsion and electrification, with a substantial research and prototyping presence alongside it, that question tends to come from automotive and land systems primes, and increasingly research funding conditions.
Level 1 is a verified self-assessment and Level 2 is audited. When a buyer says they want more than Cyber Essentials, they almost always mean Level 2. Cyber Essentials is a prerequisite for both and is priced separately.
The practical complication we see in Coventry is highly capable engineering environments deliberately kept outside central IT control, which is a defensible choice but not one that survives a scoping conversation unexamined, which affects how the scope is drawn more than it affects whether you will pass. Coventry is under an hour from us, and most engagements here start with an on-site scoping visit. If you are weighing this against ISO 27001, see how the two compare.
