Short answer
Fig does not promise a premium reduction. A customer may share its CE or CE Plus certificate and supporting evidence with an insurer, broker, or underwriter, but the recipient makes its own independent pricing, terms, and coverage decisions.
Why this matters
Procurement questions matter because Cyber Essentials is often used as a supplier-risk filter. The buyer needs confidence that the certificate is valid, current, in the correct legal name, and sufficient for the contract requirement.
Public-sector requirements vary by contract. Some require Cyber Essentials, some require Cyber Essentials Plus, and defence suppliers may also need Defence Cyber Certification. Private-sector buyers increasingly use Cyber Essentials as a minimum supplier control, particularly where personal data or managed IT access is involved.
What to check next
- Read the bid wording before buying the wrong level of certification.
- Verify supplier certificates through the IASME Certificate search tool.
- Keep renewal dates visible so certificates do not lapse during a contract period.
Official sources and related Fig guidance
For scheme-level confirmation, use the official NCSC and IASME resources rather than relying on a supplier claim alone. Fig Group links to these sources because Cyber Essentials buyers should be able to verify the scheme, the delivery partner, and the certificate record independently.
