Certify yourself first
An IT provider without Cyber Essentials is a difficult sell. Clients notice.
Refer or deliver together
Refer clients to us, work alongside us on delivery, or run a co-branded arrangement where you stay the main point of contact.
We do not compete for IT support
We are a Certification Body, not a managed service provider. Your support contracts are not at risk.
Local to Derby
Face-to-face scoping and on-site Plus audits without travel charges.
Your own certification
An MSP or IT support firm in Derby that is not itself certified has an awkward conversation ahead every time a client asks about security. Worse, MSPs are a prized target precisely because compromising one gives an attacker access to many downstream networks. Clients and their insurers have started to understand this.
Certification for your own business is priced on your headcount: £320 + VAT for 1 to 9 staff rising to £600 + VAT for 250 or more. Many IT providers go straight to Cyber Essentials Plus, £1,400 + VAT to £2,000 + VAT, because the independent technical audit is a stronger proof point in front of clients.
Certifying your clients without becoming a Certification Body
Becoming an IASME-licensed Certification Body is a significant commitment. Most MSPs do not need to. Our partner programme offers three routes: a hands-off referral where we handle everything and you receive a commission, supported delivery where you do the technical remediation and we handle assessment and certification, and a co-branded arrangement where you remain the client's main point of contact while we run the certification work in the background. Co-branded arrangements are subject to approval and a partner agreement.
We do not offer white-label certification. The assessment and the certificate are always issued in NixInfinity-AI's name, because we are the licensed Certification Body responsible for them.
