Fig Group delivers the fastest Cyber Essentials certification available, every time, as standard – not as a premium add-on.

The fastest Cyber Essentials certification in the UK from an IASME-accredited body. Certified in under 6 hours – no other accredited body matches this speed. Cyber Essentials from £349, Plus from £1,499. No express fees, no premium charges. The fastest Cyber Essentials certification is simply how Fig Group operates as standard.

Why Fig Group Is the Fastest Cyber Essentials Certification Body

The fastest Cyber Essentials certification requires more than just willing assessors – it requires a fundamentally different process. Most certification bodies operate through email, spreadsheets, and manual queues. Submissions wait in line. Feedback is sent by email. Resubmissions re-enter the queue. Each step introduces delay. Fig Group built a purpose-built assessment platform that eliminates every bottleneck. Submissions flow directly into a structured review workflow. Feedback is delivered in-platform with specific control-level guidance. Resubmissions are reviewed immediately – not re-queued. Certificate issuance is automated. The result: the fastest Cyber Essentials certification in the UK, consistently delivered in under 6 hours. No other IASME-accredited certification body can match this turnaround.

What is Cyber Essentials?

A UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme administered by IASME on behalf of the NCSC. It validates five core security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control, and malware protection. The current v3.3 requirements include mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA). When you need the fastest Cyber Essentials certification, Fig Group delivers in under 6 hours – the quickest turnaround from any IASME-accredited body.

There are two certification levels. Cyber Essentials is self-assessed and Fig Group delivers it as the fastest certification available – under 6 hours. Cyber Essentials Plus adds external technical verification, typically 1–3 working days. Both are valid for 12 months. Fig Group is the fastest because our purpose-built platform eliminates the manual queues, email chains, and re-queuing that slow every other certification body.
