What Is IASME?
IASME is the name given to the Information Assurance for Small and Medium Enterprises Consortium. IASME is one of five government-appointed accrediting bodies for the Cyber Essentials standard. IASME Governance is a standard that small businesses can achieve to show that they have the necessary cybersecurity in place to protect their customer’s data.
Achieving this governance is an indication to your customers, suppliers, insurers, and stakeholders that your organisation has implemented adequate security practices and standards.
Why Get Accredited?
