International Partner Lead · UK IASME Certification Body
Why your clients are being asked to prove cyber hygiene.
Large UK, EU and US customers now treat cyber security as basic supplier due-diligence. When your clients provide services, software or data handling, they're expected to show real controls — not just a signed policy.
That shows up as security questionnaires, supply-chain risk assessments and contract clauses about controls, monitoring and incident response. For outsourcing and BPO providers, this sits alongside data privacy duties and industry-specific rules.
As their trusted IT or advisory partner, they look to you for answers. Having a simple, recognised cyber hygiene baseline makes it much easier for both of you to get to “yes”.
- Access to UK, EU and US markets that expect proof of cyber controls as standard.
- Stronger trust with global customers who rely on them to handle data and services safely.
- Shorter, smoother procurement processes when security evidence is ready to share.
- Clear, repeatable answers to supplier questionnaires and regulator questions.
IASME Cyber Baseline: a recognised cyber hygiene badge for your clients.
IASME Cyber Baseline is a cyber hygiene certification scheme for organisations outside the UK. It focuses on the basic but critical controls that stop common attacks and shows that your clients take cyber security seriously.
Instead of reinventing answers for every questionnaire, they can point to one recognised certificate that covers the essentials. You can build services around that badge — implementation, maintenance and reporting.
Assessment is by verified self-assessment, reviewed by an independent Assessor (that's us). Practical for busy teams, credible for demanding customers.

Roles, responsibilities, training and simple governance around cyber risk.

Partner with us to offer UK-grade cyber to your region.
We work with IT providers, MSPs, consultancies and BPO organisations across Asia and South-East Asia. You stay in front of the client; we provide the deep cyber and certification work behind the scenes.
Under your brand or co-branded, you can offer IASME Cyber Baseline, Cyber Security Audits, vCISO, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and cyber security talks that meet UK expectations.
We help you answer detailed security questions, join key client calls and deliver reports that are easy to explain and easy to act on.
How the partner model works.
- White-label or co-branded delivery — you decide what your clients see.
- We join calls as part of your extended cyber team when needed.
- Clear scopes, templates and reports you can reuse across multiple clients.
- Support with proposals and security questionnaires when your clients bid for new work.

One short form. One clear conversation.
Whether you're exploring a full partner model or just need help on a single client opportunity, we start the same way: a simple enquiry form and a call with Charlie or someone from his team.
No long spreadsheets or jargon — just enough detail for us to understand your role, where you're based and what your clients are asking for.
What you'll tell us
Who you are, where you're based, what you offer today and which markets or clients you need to satisfy.
What you'll get back
A short email with options and next steps — not a heavy proposal or pushy sales call.
We usually respond within one to two working days. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you in a better direction where we can.
Use us as your quiet UK cyber arm — under your brand, or side-by-side when it helps to show a specialist on the call.
“When the fifth security questionnaire of the week lands in your inbox…”
If that feels familiar for you or your clients, we can help turn that pile of spreadsheets into one clear, repeatable story your customers recognise.
