IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 builds on the IASME Cyber Assurance framework by adding independent verification to the assessment process. The certification helps organisations demonstrate that cybersecurity controls, governance, and information security practices have been externally reviewed.
The standard covers areas including technical controls, risk management, policies, staff awareness, business continuity, supplier assurance, and data protection responsibilities.
How was it achieved? What does it mean for clients?
IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 certification is achieved through an independently verified assessment carried out by an authorised Assessor working through a Certification Body. The process provides additional validation by introducing external review against the standard’s requirements rather than relying solely on self-assessment.
Clients can work with Protrona to pursue IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 with support from a provider that understands both the assessment framework and the verification process. For organisations that need stronger external assurance for customers, procurement, governance, or stakeholder confidence, Level 2 provides greater credibility through independent validation.
Benefits to your business
Gain independently verified cyber assurance
Level 2 provides external validation that your organisation’s cybersecurity and information security practices meet the standard’s requirements.
Strengthen customer and stakeholder confidence
Verified certification gives customers, partners, insurers, and procurement teams stronger reassurance around your cybersecurity posture.
Support procurement and supplier assurance conversations
Many organisations increasingly request stronger evidence of cybersecurity management during supplier reviews and due diligence processes.
Develop a more mature security framework
Preparing for Level 2 encourages organisations to review governance, controls, policies, responsibilities, and operational security practices in greater depth.
Level 1 is a self-assessment certification. Level 2 adds independent verification through external assessment, providing stronger validation of the organisation’s cybersecurity approach.
Level 2 may suit organisations that need stronger external assurance for customers, procurement requirements, governance objectives, or supplier due diligence.
Not necessarily. Some organisations use IASME Cyber Assurance Level 2 as an alternative route to recognised cyber assurance, while others use it alongside or before ISO/IEC 27001.
Protrona can help organisations understand the requirements, strengthen readiness, prepare assessment evidence, and navigate the independently verified certification process.
