Cyber Essentials Assessment
In order to achieve Cyber Essentials, your organisation will need to complete a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and a board member will also need to provide a signed declaration. Your completed SAQ will be reviewed by one of URM’s qualified assessors to ensure your organisation is conforming with all the requirements associated with the 5 control areas. Once you have submitted your completed SAQ through the Cyber Essentials portal, you will be notified within 48 hours whether you have passed or not and, if successful, will receive your Cyber Essentials certificate. This certificate is valid for 1 year. Start your Cyber Essentials certification process and access the SAQ.
