IASME Cyber Assurance is a cybersecurity certification scheme designed to help organisations demonstrate that they manage cyber risk in a structured and practical way. The standard goes beyond technical controls alone, covering wider business areas such as policies, risk management, staff awareness, business continuity, supplier management, and data protection. As an IASME Cyber Assurance Certification Body, Protrona can assess organisations against the standard and issue certification where the required criteria are met.
How was it achieved? What does it mean for clients?
Protrona achieved Certification Body status by meeting IASME’s requirements for authorised providers. Certification Bodies must work within IASME’s framework and employ trained Assessors who understand the scheme requirements and assessment process. The role requires both cybersecurity knowledge and the ability to assess organisations against a broader information security framework.
Clients can work with Protrona to approach IASME Cyber Assurance with clearer guidance and stronger understanding of what the certification involves. That matters for organisations that need recognised assurance but want something more comprehensive than baseline technical certification. For businesses considering ISO/IEC 27001 in the future, IASME Cyber Assurance can also provide a practical stepping stone.
Benefits to your business
Strengthen your cybersecurity governance
IASME Cyber Assurance looks beyond technical controls to include policies, risk management, supplier assurance, business continuity, and staff responsibilities.
Demonstrate stronger cyber maturity
Certification helps organisations show customers, partners, and stakeholders that cybersecurity is managed through a structured framework rather than informal processes.
Support supplier and procurement requirements
Many organisations increasingly ask suppliers to demonstrate stronger cybersecurity assurance. IASME Cyber Assurance provides recognised evidence during due diligence and procurement reviews.
Build confidence around information security
The certification process helps businesses review how security operates across people, processes, and technology, supporting a more mature security posture.
An IASME Cyber Assurance Certification Body is an organisation authorised by IASME to assess organisations against the IASME Cyber Assurance standard and issue certification where requirements are met.
IASME Cyber Assurance suits organisations that want broader cybersecurity assurance than technical controls alone. It includes governance, policies, risk management, staff awareness, business continuity, and supplier security considerations.
For some organisations, yes. IASME Cyber Assurance can provide a more accessible route to structured cyber assurance. Some businesses also use it as a preparation step before pursuing ISO/IEC 27001.
Protrona can help organisations understand the standard, identify security gaps, prepare assessment evidence, improve readiness, and complete certification through an authorised Certification Body.
