How long do you have to complete and submit a Cyber Essentials assessment?

You have 6 months to complete your assessment before your account is archived. Unfortunately, a refund cannot be issued, so it is best not to apply until you think you are ready for your assessment.

Our URM assessor’s dedication and expertise are truly commendable and he made the entire audit process a positive and productive experience. He is a real asset to your team.
