- Quoted with your package
The IASME fee is set by IASME, charged by the certification body, and correct in October 2026. Close to a size boundary? I'll check which band you fall into before you pay anything.
What every package includes
Scoping call
We agree what's in scope, the whole business or a defined part, and who does what.
Readiness review
A proper look at your devices, cloud services, accounts and multi-factor authentication.
A written fix list
In plain English, ranked by what would fail you first.
Guidance while you fix
By call and email, for you or your IT provider, until every item is done.
Help with the questions
How to answer the question set honestly and clearly, with nothing left to guesswork.
Pre-submission review
Nothing goes in until I'm confident it will pass.
Assessor feedback
If the certification body comes back with questions, I'll help you answer them.
Pass promise
If you don't pass first time, I keep helping, at no extra cost from me, until you do.
Not included: the IASME fee itself, any fee the certification body charges for a resubmission, and hands-on fixes to your systems, which are an add-on below.

Package questions
Why is the IASME fee shown separately?
Because it isn't mine. IASME sets the certification fee and a licensed certification body charges it, plus VAT. You pay them directly, and you pay me for the work. That way you can see exactly what each part costs.
Which size am I?
The bands are IASME's, based on how many people work in your organisation. If you're close to a boundary, I'll check which band you fall into before you pay anything.
What does the pass promise cover?
If your submission doesn't pass first time, I keep helping until it does, at no extra cost from me. If the certification body charges a fee for a resubmission, that part is theirs.
Does the package include fixing things?
It includes everything needed to get you ready and through: the review, the fix list, guidance while you or your IT provider make the changes, and help with the submission. If you'd like me to make the changes myself, hands-on fixes are £125 an hour, or 5 hours for £575.
How much is renewal?
The certificate lasts 12 months. Renewal support is £350 for micro, £595 for small and £995 for medium organisations, plus that year's IASME fee. For large organisations it's quoted with your package.
How long does it take?
Most organisations are certified within a few weeks of the scoping call, depending on how much needs fixing. If you have a deadline, the Express add-on gets your submission in within five working days of the scoping call, as long as nothing big needs fixing.
