What is the recertification process?

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.

During our Cyber Essentials accreditation process we found URM to be very helpful and engaging ensuring that we can demonstrate our commitment to cyber security for both our partners and customers. We would recommend URM to other organisations that seek Cyber Essentials accreditation.
