IASME Cyber Assurance Dudley

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

IASME Cyber Assurance evidences real information governance without the cost and overhead of ISO 27001. For Dudley’s manufacturing, engineering and industrial 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 Dudley businesses choose the right level and guide you through, in plain English.

IASME Cyber Assurance in Dudley

Organisations in Dudley 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 metal forming, fabrication and light manufacturing, largely in family businesses that have supplied the same customers for decades, that question tends to come from a larger customer's supplier assurance programme, arriving without warning or explanation.

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 Dudley is small offices where IT is one person's part-time responsibility on top of their actual job, and where nobody has ever been asked for an asset list, which affects how the scope is drawn more than it affects whether you will pass. Dudley is twenty-five minutes away, which matters when the answer needs someone to physically look at the kit. If you are weighing this against ISO 27001, see how the two compare.
