Can IASME contact you for research purposes?
What this question is really asking
You must confirm you have read the current 'Cyber Essentials Requirements for IT Infrastructure' document. Assessors expect you to be familiar with the technical requirements before your assessment — download the current version from the NCSC or IASME website. Being unable to answer questions about the document suggests you have not read it.
What satisfies this requirement
Yes or NoIASME and UK government may ask questions about the CE scheme for research. Contact via registered email. Free to not respond.
What to prepare before your assessor visit
Assessors are entitled to assume you've read this document and will often ask questions that effectively test whether you have. Organisations that struggle to answer fundamental scope or technical questions sometimes reveal they haven't engaged with the requirements carefully. Read the current version — not one from a previous year — the standard is updated regularly and the current document is authoritative.
