NCSC Cyber Advisor

The NCSC Cyber Advisor scheme is delivered in partnership with IASME. It provides small and medium sized businesses with reliable and cost effective cyber security advice and practical support.

What is a Cyber Advisor?

Reliable, cost-effective cyber security advice and hands-on support, to an NCSC-approved standard.

The NCSC Cyber Advisor scheme — delivered with IASME — helps small and medium organisations find a trusted source of good cyber security advice. It focuses on the Cyber Essentials technical controls, which stop the majority of common attacks.

As Assured Cyber Advisors, we have passed an independent assessment of our knowledge and skills. You do not even need to certify — you just need to implement the controls, and we help you make the changes to protect your business.

Who it’s for

The scheme was built for smaller organisations that want a trusted expert on their side.

  • You cannot easily access qualified people to work with
  • You lack in-house expertise to lean on
  • You want a clearer picture of where your security stands
  • You have limited time or budget to invest in cyber security

The standard we’re held to

Being an Assured Cyber Advisor means we have proven we can:

  • Understand and apply the Cyber Essentials technical controls
  • Work effectively with small and medium-sized organisations
  • Provide cost-effective, practical, hands-on support

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the things people ask us most.

What is a Cyber Advisor?
An NCSC-assessed professional who provides hands-on, standards-based cyber security advice to small and medium organisations. It is practical help, not just a certificate.
How is this different from certification?
Certification proves you meet a standard. A Cyber Advisor works through your systems with you, tells you what to fix first, and helps you do it — in plain English.
What does "Government Approved" mean?
We have passed an independent assessment against NCSC standards under the Cyber Advisor scheme, so you can be confident the advice meets a recognised national benchmark.
Who is it for?
Organisations that want expert help understanding their risks and improving their security — especially where there is limited time, budget or in-house expertise.
