Cybersecurity accreditations
You might want an accreditation โ essentially, a third party's assertion that your cybersecurity measures meet some defined standards โ for your cybersecurity preparations.
This might be because doing so helps you attain a higher standard than you would reach with your own preparations, or else you want an attestation of your security from a third party.
Options for accreditation
ISO 27001 (International)
ISO 27001 is an internationally-recognised information security standard, focussed on the implementation of an information security management system.
A copy of the standard is approximately ยฃ100.
Attaining ISO 27001 is likely to need third party support, and will probably cost several thousand pounds.
Cyber Essentials (UK)
A scheme promoted by the UK government, Cyber Essentials is a basic information security accreditation focussed on five areas. It costs approximately ยฃ300 + VAT.
It is a self-assessed scheme. If you wanted more assurance, it has a second tier, Cyber Essentials Plus, which requires independent verification.
