Six security and assurance capabilities, delivered by one IASME-licensed UK body
Cyber Essentials certification

How Cyber Essentials worksCyber Essentials Plus
The hands-on, independently audited tier: external vulnerability scanning and a technical assessment of a sample of your devices. For buyers and contracts that need verified, not self-declared, assurance.
See Cyber Essentials PlusDefence Cyber Certification
IASME-licensed Defence Cyber Certification at Level 0 and Level 1 for the UK MOD supply chain, assessed against Def Stan 05-138. The route defence suppliers use to meet a Cyber Risk Profile contract clause.

A UK compliance automation platform spanning 65+ frameworks and 300+ integrations, with continuous monitoring, evidence collection, and policy-driven enforcement - not just observation. Built for MSPs and corporate risk teams.
Inside the platformInsurer-grade evidence
Live compliance records can be organised into insurer-grade evidence that customers control and may choose to share with an insurer, broker, or underwriter.
How insurer-grade evidence worksContinuous security & assurance
Certification is the start, not the finish. Fig keeps asset, vulnerability, supplier, and control data in one governed place so the standards your organisation has actually committed to are enforced and provable year-round.

The buyer evidence to check before you purchase
This block keeps the commercial claims close to the final decision point: licence, speed, pricing, reviews, and the important difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
Licence
IASME-licensed certification body
Fig Group publishes its IASME licence evidence, operating entity, and external verification route so buyers can check the certification body before purchase.
Verify IASME licenceSpeed
6-hour CE guarantee
The 6-hour assessor turnaround applies to eligible Cyber Essentials submissions received before midday on a UK business day. It does not apply to Cyber Essentials Plus.
Review speed evidencePricing
Below standard IASME fee
Cyber Essentials pricing is published by tier and mapped against the standard IASME certification body fee, with no mandatory consultancy add-on.
Review price evidenceReviews
Public review evidence
Google review signals and Fig claim evidence are separated from sales copy so procurement teams can verify trust claims independently.
Review rating evidencePractical rule: buy Cyber Essentials when the requirement asks for baseline certification. Buy Cyber Essentials Plus only when the buyer, insurer, or framework specifically asks for the audited technical verification layer.
