What a certifying body is
A certifying body is a agency that has been accredited by an accreditation body, to assess and certify organisations under the Cyber Essentials scheme.
Each assessor within those certified bodies must go through training and pass the relevant assessments and exams.
As of April 2020, IASME has been appointed as the single accreditation body for the Cyber Essentials certifications by the national Cyber Security Center (NCSC).
