The IASME Cyber Baseline is a new cyber certification scheme provided by IASME which is purely aimed at non-UK registered based businesses. This certification helps international businesses achieve the basic requirements for cyber based protection, like Cyber Essentials does for UK companies.  The IASME Cyber Baseline standard leads the way to offer global supply chains a standardised and respected certification to show that organisations have the critical cyber hygiene measures in place.

Like the IASME Cyber Assurance scheme, the Cyber Baseline certification will come in two-levels, the self-assessment for Level 1, and the audited version for Level 2.

Although a new standard, the IASME Cyber Baseline maps to several international cyber hygiene standards and best practices, which allows you as a business to adhere to several standards with one certification.

The IASME Cyber Baseline certification is based upon 8 of the 13 themes from the IASME standard, these are:

Adopting the Cyber Essentials scheme is likely to become a major requirement to win business in many sectors in the future – and to demonstrate this, from 1 October 2014, the government has required suppliers bidding for certain information-handling contracts to be Cyber Essentials certified.

The certification is backed by the industry, as well as the business support and lobbying organisation the Federation of Small Businesses. A number of insurance companies are also starting to offer incentives for organisations that conform to the scheme.

A company can gain certification badges which allow a company to advertise the fact that it adheres to a government-endorsed standard.
