Confidence Built on Proven Competence

As a Licensed Body of the UK Cyber Security Council, The Cyber Scheme assesses, recognises and supports cyber security professionals against recognised professional standards.

Competence cannot be claimed. It must be demonstrated.

We support the cyber security profession at every level, from individual career development and professional recognition to organisational accreditation, workforce capability and independent assurance.

As a Licensed Body of the UK Cyber Security Council and one of the UK’s leading assessment, accreditation and professional recognition organisations, The Cyber Scheme helps individuals and organisations demonstrate recognised professional standards. We provide the assurance that employers, buyers, government and the wider profession need to make informed decisions based on independently assessed capability.

We also deliver NCSC-certified training and assessments for government certification schemes, alongside specialist development in security testing, incident response, red team management and OT/IoT security. Internationally, we support governments and organisations developing regulated frameworks for offensive security accreditation and skills development.

Access practical guidance, webinars, downloads and expert insight designed to support both individuals and organisations. 

We help define, assess and recognise the standards that professionals and the organisations they work for should meet.

Accreditation provides independent, verified  evidence of quality, capability and commitment to recognised standards.

Contact the team for further support, whether it’s Professional Registration, Accreditation, or taking training or assessments.

The Cyber Scheme exists to ensure that cyber security capability can be recognised, validated and trusted. Stronger standards create stronger professionals. Stronger professionals create stronger organisations. Stronger organisations create a more secure future for everyone.
