Cyber Certain Assurance™
Maintain confidence - not just compliance
Cybersecurity requires ongoing oversight, particularly in areas like employee security awareness and incident response. A successful assessment or certification represents just a moment in time; it does not ensure that controls will continue to remain effective as the organisation evolves.

Organisations that need ongoing independent assurance, external oversight, or continued support after an initial assessment or certification programme.
Indicative duration: Annual membership or an agreed programme of periodic reviews.
Cyber Certain Resilience™
Prepare for the worst - and respond with confidence
Most security professionals consider a serious cyber incident to be a question of “when,” not “if.” Cyber Certain Resilience™ helps your organisation prepare for an incident, test its incident response arrangements, and strengthen its ability to recover.
What it can include:
- Cyber incident-response planning
- Review or development of incident-response procedures
- Crisis management and escalation arrangements

Incorporating employee security awareness and role-specific preparation can also enhance your organisation’s resilience by helping individuals recognise threats, understand their responsibilities, and respond appropriately during a real incident.
Best suited to:
Organisations looking to strengthen their resilience, test their existing plans, or provide senior leaders with practical experience in responding to a cyber incident. This program can also include IT maturity assessments to evaluate your readiness further.
Indicative duration: 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope and exercise requirements.
