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.
Thank you to our assessor, our account manager and URM for this support. Without their advice and support, we wouldn’t have achieved this.
