Is your head office domiciled in the UK or Crown Dependencies and is your gross annual turnover less than £20m?
What this question is really asking
This question determines whether your organisation qualifies for the free cyber insurance included with Cyber Essentials certification. Both conditions must be met: UK or Crown Dependencies domicile, and gross annual turnover below the specified threshold. Check the current IASME documentation for the exact turnover limit, as it is reviewed periodically.
What satisfies this requirement
Yes or NoDetermines eligibility for the included free cyber insurance.
What to prepare before your assessor visit
Check the current IASME documentation for the exact revenue threshold — it is reviewed periodically and has changed across versions. Many applicants estimate their gross turnover rather than checking their most recent accounts; if you're anywhere near the threshold, use the precise figure. Being just above the limit means no insurance, so it's worth the effort to establish the exact number.
