Why Fig 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 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 a UK government-backed cybersecurity certification scheme that validates an organisation has implemented five core security controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control, and malware protection. The Cyber Essentials v3.3 requirements (April 2026) introduced mandatory MFA for all user accounts in scope. Certification is required for UK government contracts involving sensitive data and is increasingly expected by private-sector supply chains. Whether you are a small business or a large enterprise, Cyber Essentials provides independently verified proof of your cyber hygiene.
There are two certification levels. Cyber Essentials is the self-assessed level: you complete a questionnaire and an accredited assessor reviews your answers. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an external technical assessment including vulnerability scanning to independently verify your controls are working in practice. Both are valid for 12 months and both carry the NCSC badge.
