Vendor-neutral certification for organisations and professionals — demonstrating verified compliance with UKCSC standards.
Certification demonstrates a verified, externally assessed commitment to cybersecurity — not just a self-declared one.
No tie to any product or platform. Certify against the standard, not a vendor's interpretation of it.
All assessments are conducted by accredited third-party assessors, not self-certified.
Certified organisations and practitioners are listed in our public register for clients to verify.
Certifications are valid for 12 months with a streamlined renewal process to reflect updated standards.
Entry-level organisation certification against UKCSC-CS-001. Suitable for any UK organisation seeking to demonstrate baseline cyber hygiene.
Advanced organisation certification that will add on-site or remote technical verification of all five UKCSC-CS-001 controls. Not yet open for applications.

UKCSC certification programmes assess practical cybersecurity capability against UKCSC standards that are mapped to recognised international frameworks and regulatory expectations.
UKCSC issues UKCSC certificates against its own published standards. Our alignment maps and assessments can support implementation and readiness, but they do not replace certification by an accredited ISO certification body, a SOC 2 CPA firm, or a regulator.
