Why Gold
SMB1001 has five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Each level builds on the one before.
Gold adds controls such as endpoint detection and response, multi-factor authentication on business applications, an incident response plan and cyber insurance.
Gold is attested by your directors rather than an external auditor, so the real work is getting the controls right and keeping the evidence. That's the part we take on. If you need independent verification, Platinum and Diamond add a third-party audit.
We hold SMB1001 Gold ourselves, certified through CyberCert in May 2026. View our certificate ↗
SMB1001 sits well alongside the Essential Eight. Many of the controls overlap, so we work on both together.
