What is CEadvisor?

CE Advisor is an IASME-accredited scheme designed to identify organisations that are qualified to provide cyber security advice to SMEs.

It recognises providers who not only understand cyber security best practice, but also how to apply it in a practical, proportionate way that aligns with how real businesses operate.

As an IASME CE Advisor, we are independently assessed to ensure we can deliver trusted, relevant and effective cyber security guidance.

How we help

  • Define your security approach

    We work with you to build a clear understanding of your current cyber security position, identifying strengths, gaps and areas of risk. From there, we help define a tailored security approach that aligns with your business objectives, risk appetite and day to day operational requirements, ensuring it is both effective and realistic to implement.

  • Guide decision-making

    Our advisory support gives you access to experienced guidance when it matters most. We help you navigate key decisions around cyber security, risk management and investment, providing clarity and confidence that the choices you make are appropriate, proportionate and aligned with your wider business goals.

  • Align with best practice

    We ensure your organisation is aligned with recognised standards and frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, applying industry best practice in a way that is practical, achievable and relevant to your environment. The focus is always on meaningful improvements rather than unnecessary complexity.

  • Prepare for Cyber Essentials

    We support you throughout your journey to Cyber Essentials certification, helping you understand the requirements, implement the necessary controls and address any gaps. Our approach ensures you are fully prepared for assessment, with everything in place to achieve certification smoothly and confidently.

  • Provide ongoing oversight

    Cyber security is not static, and neither is your business. We maintain regular engagement to review your security posture, track progress and adapt your approach as your organisation evolves. This ensures your protection remains effective as new risks emerge and your operational needs change.

IASME approvedpartner

Our services align with the IASME Cyber Essentials framework, a government backed standard designed to help organisations build strong, practical security foundations.

As an IASME approved Cyber Essentials Certification Body, we are authorised to assess and certify organisations against both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. This allows us to guide businesses through the certification process with clarity while helping them implement the right controls and achieve recognised, independently validated security standards.

Because our Managed IT services are delivered to the Cyber Essentials standard, many of the core requirements are already built into the way we manage and secure your environment. This makes the path to certification significantly simpler and more straightforward for our clients.
