Cyber Essentials Application Review
For those organisations which have decided on the scope of their certification, but are looking for reassurance or more detailed interpretation of questions, URM can support you through the process with its Cyber Essentials Application Review Service. This service is also popular with those organisations already certified and are seeking clarification about changes to the SAQ. With this service, you can complete the questionnaire yourself and then have the application checked with URM before you submit it. One of URM’s assessors will perform an offline review of your answers to identify any answers that are missing, incomplete or that may have been misunderstood and that, as a consequence, does not fully satisfy the CE requirements. Following the offline review, the URM assessor will (via a remote session) walk you through each of the identified non-compliant responses and ensure you have interpreted the question correctly and have provided an accurate and appropriate response which will meet the requirements of the Scheme.
You will have the reassurance and peace of mind that you have completed the questionnaire accurately and the service will help to reduce the ‘back and forth’ time involved in correcting a previous submission.
