Cyber Security Certification

SMB1001 Certification: Elevate your cyber security.

What is the SMB1001 Certification?

SMB1001 is a cyber security certification framework specifically designed for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) by Dynamic Standards International (DSI). It offers a structured, multi-tiered approach to guide businesses in establishing and improving their cyber security practices. The framework focuses on five key areas:

  • Technology Management
  • Access Management
  • Backup and Recovery
  • Policies and Processes
  • Education and Training

Bronze

The Bronze level is ideal for smaller businesses with limited exposure to cyber security risks. It focuses on establishing a strong foundation with essential controls. This level is perfect for those just starting their cyber security journey or those who need to demonstrate a baseline level of protection.

Silver

For businesses that require a more robust cyber security posture to combat evolving threats, the Silver level is the next step. It focuses on implementing more advanced security measures to protect against increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Gold

Organisations in industries with stringent compliance requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and retail, should aim for the Gold level. It focuses on meeting industry standards and regulatory obligations while addressing complex cyber security threats.

Platinum

High-risk sectors like critical infrastructure, defence, and government agencies require a very high level of cyber security maturity, which is reflected in the Platinum level. It focuses on implementing robust and mature cyber security controls to protect against advanced persistent threats.

Diamond

The Diamond level represents the pinnacle of cyber security preparedness. It's designed for organisations in high-risk sectors like critical infrastructure, defence, and government that require the most comprehensive and proactive security posture to mitigate critical risks.
