If you do not pass and gaps are identified, you are provided with 2 working days to address any gaps (e.g. change any simple issues with your network and policies).
You can then update your answers and the assessor will review your responses. You will not be charged for this reassessment, but if this subsequent application is unsuccessful, you will need to make a fresh application and pay for the whole assessment fee.
URM’s in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity best practices and the Cyber Essentials framework helped us strengthen both ours and our client’s security posture while ensuring full compliance. Their consultants were professional, approachable, and incredibly thorough, offering practical advice tailored to the specific needs. The Cyber Essentials Plus assessment was conducted with great efficiency, and URM’s supportive approach meant we felt well-prepared at every stage. Thanks to their expertise, we successfully achieved certification for us and our clients, giving us (and our clients) greater confidence in our cybersecurity resilience.

We want to pass on our thanks to our URM assessor for helping us with the assessment. He made it really very straightforward for us during the remote sessions and during the follow ups to understand what we needed to do to remediate the issues and obtain the certification. He understood our setup and gave us relevant advice, it was a pleasure working with him.
