Can IASME and their expert partners contact you if you experience a cyber breach?
What this question is really asking
Select up to two primary motivations for seeking certification — customer requirements, supply chain, insurance, regulatory, internal policy, and so on. This is informational for IASME and NCSC and does not affect your score. Being honest helps the scheme understand adoption drivers.
What satisfies this requirement
Yes or NoOpt-in only. Email security@iasme.co.uk if breach occurs. Information kept confidential.
What to prepare before your assessor visit
Completely informational — answer honestly. If you're applying because a customer has required it, say so; assessors appreciate directness and there's no wrong answer. The one subtle implication: if you've stated a contract requirement as your motivation, your assessor may want to confirm your scope adequately covers the systems relevant to that specific contract.
