Introducing Cornwall’s only IASME Certification Body able to deliver the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assured certifications to businesses across the Duchy and the whole of the UK.

We’re delighted to announce that Cool Waters Cyber has attained IASME Certification Body status, which means we are able to help organisations gain and retain the NCSC backed Cyber Essentials scheme and the IASME Cyber Assured scheme. Both of these certifications help organisations to improve their cyber security and protect their business and their customers data from cyber crime and ransomware.

The NCSC recently revealed that firms that have implemented Cyber Essentials are 80% less likely to need to make a claim on their cyber insurance.

Founder and CEO, Mark Faithfull, says:

I’m delighted and proud we have achieved certification body status. It’s a rigorous process that assess the whole firm to validate that we are able to provide the best advice and support to firms who want to achieve Cyber Essentials or Cyber Assured certifications.

What are the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assured Schemes?

Cyber Essentials is, as the name implies, the essential minimum any firm should have in place to protect themselves from cyber crime and ransomware. It is cost effective, starting at only £300 a year for a micro business and comes with £25,000 of cyber insurance.

Cyber Assured builds on Cyber Essentials and it provides assurance that an organisation has put into place a range of important cyber security, privacy and data protection measures - including compliance with GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act.
