The ESFA's contract framework now requires education and training providers to implement recognised Standards.
As a specialist certification body, Centre for Assessment can provide certification for your organisation.
Colleges and others are not yet required to achieve formal certification to these international Standards by a prescribed date. However, implementing the ISO 22301 and ISO 27001 Standards and preparing for a compliance audit is something you should consider.
The ESFA requirements also state that education and training providers require Cyber Essentials certification from the 2021/22 academic year.
