Cybersecurity
Certified cybersecurity, sized for small business.
SMB1001 is a cybersecurity standard written for small and medium businesses, published by Dynamic Standards International and updated each year. It sets out proportionate controls across five tiers, so a two-person installer and a 60-person integrator can each start at the right level.
Certification is issued by CyberCert, an independent certification body. Your certification is listed on a public registry at verify.cybercert.ai, so builders, clients and insurers can check it for themselves.
Cybersecurity for integration businesses
Integrators connect, configure and look after the systems clients rely on every day. That access is valuable, and it is exactly why integration businesses are a target. Master Integrator is working with CyberCert to give members a practical, affordable way to show they take cybersecurity seriously, through certification to the SMB1001 standard.
Why it matters for integrators
Protect client access
Remote access, admin passwords and network details for clients' homes and buildings need the same care as your own systems.
Win and keep work
Builders, developers and commercial clients increasingly ask suppliers to show their cyber controls. A certification answers that in one step.
Show reasonable steps
Privacy obligations, director duties and insurer questions all come back to whether you did enough. Certification evidences the steps you took.
Proof you can send with the quote
Certified businesses receive an independent certificate from CyberCert, showing the SMB1001 tier, standard release and expiry date. It can be attached to tenders and prequalification forms, and validated by anyone with a QR scan.
Your business is also listed on the public registry at verify.cybercert.ai, and you can display the matching badge on your website and proposals.
Three ways to get certified
Every route leads to the same certification. Pick the one that suits how your business runs.
