IASME Governance Certification
The IASME Governance & GDPR standard can be mapped to the current international standard (ISO 27001) for information security management in business. IASME certification, therefore, helps you increase trust among consumers and fellow businesses.
At Defensity, we are an IASME Governance Certification body. This means that we can help you implement the IASME Governance & GDPR standard across your UK business.
IASME Governance Certification Basics
As a UK small business, you might already be familiar with the UK government-sponsored Cyber Essentials Scheme.
The goal of the Cyber Essentials Scheme is to help UK businesses put measures in place to counter common cyber security threats. However, the Cyber Essentials Scheme focuses on technical controls and does not define a set of best practices for managing sensitive consumer data.
By comparison, ISO 27001 outlines an international standard for the development, implementation, maintenance, and continual improvement, of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
In the UK, the IASME Governance standard provides a cost effective alternative to ISO 27001 that is designed for Small & Medium sized businesses that includes Cyber Essentials and helps businesses fulfill new EU and UK GDPR requirements.
IASME Governance comes in two forms, Self Assessment and Audited.
IASME Governance: Self Assessment & GDPR Business Benefits
IASME certification equips UK businesses with several benefits. First and foremost, IASME Governance & GDPR certification is available for just £400 with Cyber Essentials. By comparison, the total cost for full ISO 27001 certification can range from anything upto £50,000.
Of course, IASME certification is only a stepping stone on the path to full ISO 27001 accreditation. However, certification does help build trust between industry partners and consumers.
- IASME certification demonstrates that your business is taking actionable steps to protect sensitive consumer data.
- Certification assures company stakeholders that your businesses has a lower risk of suffering disruption as a result of data breaches.
- Some UK businesses and suppliers will only work with companies that have IASME certification.
