Cyber Essentials question-by-question guide
AI powered help to complete your cyber essentials assessment
This tool walks you through the official IASME question set step by step. For each question, it explains in plain English what it's really asking and where you're likely to find the information in your business.
- Question-by-question guidance that mirrors the IASME wording and intent.
- Ask follow-up questions at every step – answers are specific to the question you're on.
- Designed for non-technical owners and managers who just want to know what to say and where to look.
Important – read this first
This doesn't replace the official IASME portal or your own judgement. It will not fill answers in for you, guarantee a pass, or confirm compliance. It's here to help you understand the questions and gather the right information so you can complete your real Cyber Essentials assessment with confidence.
