Intelance Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Associate Panel
Intelance is a UK-based consulting firm and a newly appointed IASME Certification Body across Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Cyber Assurance. We also deliver ISO 27001 implementation and audit support to mid-market and enterprise clients across the UK and Europe.
We are building a selective associate panel to support a growing book of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus engagements. This is not an employment role. It is a long-term associate relationship for experienced assessors who want steady, well-run work, named inclusion on our panel, and a professional home that treats assurance delivery as a craft.
Tasks
- Conduct Cyber Essentials self-assessment reviews against the current IASME question set and issue certification decisions within agreed service levels.
- Deliver Cyber Essentials Plus technical audits, including vulnerability scanning, authenticated scans, sample device testing, multi-factor authentication validation, and malware protection checks.
- Write clear, defensible assessment reports and certification recommendations.
- Guide client technical contacts through remediation where gaps are identified, without drifting into paid consultancy during the certification window.
- Maintain evidence and audit trails to IASME Certification Body standards.
- Participate in internal calibration sessions to keep assessment quality consistent across the panel.
- Where capacity and interest align, support adjacent work across IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 and ISO 27001 readiness.
