ISAME Cyber Assurance enables small and medium-sized firms in a supply chain to demonstrate their level of cyber security at a reasonable cost and to establish that they are taking appropriate actions to secure their customers’ information.
The Level 2 verified IASME Cyber Assurance certification is currently accepted as an alternative to other international standards by a wide range of UK and worldwide industry sectors. The UK Ministry of Justice and the Government of Jersey are two examples. As DSTI has mapped the requirements of the ICA to the HMG’s Cyber Governance Code of Practice, and the ICA meets all the requirements (IASME cyber governance mapping), IASME Cyber Assurance provides SMEs with a credible mechanism to certify compliance, this is a big step toward lowering barriers to entry for smaller organisations in a supply chain.
GDPR regulations are included in the IASME Cyber Assurance certification, which is accessible in two levels: Level 1 Verified Assessment and Level 2 Audited. You must hold a valid Cyber Essentials certificate throughout your IASME Cyber Assurance certification to apply for IASME Cyber Assurance.
