How a Cyber Essentials Assessment Works
A Cyber Essentials assessment is the process by which an IASME-accredited body verifies that your organisation meets the NCSC Cyber Essentials requirements. For Cyber Essentials, you complete a self-assessment questionnaire covering five control categories. An accredited assessor reviews your submission and, if it meets the requirements, issues your certificate. For Plus, an external assessor conducts a technical audit including vulnerability scanning. Fig Group makes the Cyber Essentials assessment process straightforward. Our platform guides you through the questionnaire with clear, plain-English explanations. If your submission needs corrections, we provide structured feedback up to three times – identifying exactly which controls need attention and what needs to change. Most organisations complete their Cyber Essentials assessment and receive their certificate within a single working day.
