The step up from Cyber Essentials for Stafford businesses: a practical, affordable alternative to ISO 27001.
IASME Cyber Assurance evidences real information governance without the cost and overhead of ISO 27001. For Stafford’s professional-services, technology and public-sector-supplier 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 Stafford businesses choose the right level and guide you through, in plain English.

IASME Cyber Assurance in Stafford
Organisations in Stafford 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 electrical power systems and industrial control engineering, supplying energy, infrastructure and manufacturing customers, often into defence indirectly, that question tends to come from an infrastructure or energy client's assurance requirement, or a defence flow-down two tiers up.
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 Stafford is engineering and test networks carrying control-system software that cannot be patched on a fourteen-day cycle, alongside a perfectly ordinary office estate, which affects how the scope is drawn more than it affects whether you will pass. Stafford is forty minutes from us, and the scoping conversation here is usually about the engineering network rather than the office. If you are weighing this against ISO 27001, see how the two compare.

Understand your exposure
An attacker’s first move is not an attack, it is a look. So we look first, and send you what we find, worst first.
- Services and ports you did not know were open
- Security misconfigurations on anything public facing
- Known vulnerabilities already indexed by engines like Shodan
- Company credentials sitting in known breach data
The only question is: do you know where and how to look?
We reply within one business day. Prefer to talk first? 01902 288763 or info@solusec.co.uk.
Nothing is touched on your systems. It is all public and already indexed, just scattered. We pull it together, which is what an attacker does first.
