Cyber essentials basic certification

By achieving Cyber Essentials, you will reassure your clients that you take security seriously. Once you have self-certified, you can then further increase your cyber security by moving up to Cyber Essentials Plus, which is independently verified via an technical audit.

What is Cyber Essentials?

The process

Frequently asked questions

  • Why do you recommend choosing a guided option?

    Most importantly to note is that with Atema, all our guided options include unlimited support at a capped price, so you always know what you’re going to need to budget for. All our guided options are designed to assure your company a first-time pass, provided instructions from our technical specialists are carefully followed.


    Although you can choose to purchase the SAQ by itself, we are currently seeing most of our clients fail and have to re-purchase due to the nature of the new requirements, so to secure a speedy first-time pass and avoid the hassle of re-certification costs, we recommend exploring the guided certification route. This allows our assessors to walk you through all the new requirements, offer their recommendations and remedial advice, and then submit your assessment only when you are ready to achieve certification.

  • What if I find a cheaper price elsewhere?

    If you’ve got a better price for the same level of service we offer, just send us evidence of your cheaper quote and we’ll beat it! Simple as that.

  • How long does it take to get certified?

    For Cyber Essentials Basic, you have 6 months to complete the assessment and pass from the moment you receive login details for the IASME portal. We can certify the majority of businesses in under 24 hours provided they have the time and resource to commit fully.
