URM will contact you with a reminder approximately a month before you have to recertify. You will then be required to pay an application fee again and complete a new application form.
This is due to the questions being periodically updated and so may be different from the previous year.
It is a good idea to keep a copy of your answers when you submit, to enable you to cut and paste the relevant parts from your previous submission.
We engaged URM to help us on our journey to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus. From the outset the engagement with URM was excellent. The online portal made the CE assessment seamless. The assessors were professional and courteous and went above and beyond to help us through the process.
