Buyer-fit analysis

Where Fig Group is the cleaner fit, and where Secureframe may be.

This page was last reviewed on 27 September 2026. We separate certificate delivery, platform fit, MSP workflow, and procurement risk so the comparison is useful rather than just a vendor scorecard. The Basic guarantee applies to complete, compliant submissions received before midday on a UK Business Day, subject to our certification terms. Platform subscriptions and certification are separate purchasing options.

Where Fig Group is the cleaner fit

The buyer needs UK certification plus operating evidence

Fig Group is stronger when the requirement is not only control monitoring but an official Cyber Essentials outcome with assessor support and evidence that remains useful after the certificate is issued.

The implementation must serve corporates and MSPs

Where a corporate wants visibility and an MSP performs the operational work, Fig Group is designed around that shared governance model.

The buyer wants pricing clarity before a call

Fig Group publishes Cyber Essentials pricing and the re-submission model so procurement can compare the buying path before speaking to sales.

Where Secureframe may be the cleaner fit

The programme is single-company compliance automation

If the buyer is a single US-led organisation pursuing standard automation across several frameworks, Secureframe may be a cleaner fit than a UK certification-led workflow.

No Cyber Essentials output is required

If no customer, insurer, or tender requires Cyber Essentials, a platform-only purchase may be enough.

Claims to verify before buying

  • 01Separate platform subscription cost from the cost of official Cyber Essentials certification.
  • 02Ask how UK-specific Cyber Essentials evidence is reviewed before submission.
  • 03Check whether the platform supports the MSP or corporate delivery model you actually need.

How to read this

The useful question is not which vendor is universally better.

It is which route fits the buyer's certification, data residency, MSP, and assurance requirements. Fig Group is strongest where Cyber Essentials certification, IASME-licensed assessment, UK support, published pricing, and MSP delivery are part of the requirement. Secureframe may still be the better choice where its existing product focus, contract position, or implementation model is already aligned to the buyer.

Step 01

Confirm what is being purchased

A formal certificate, a compliance automation platform, a consultancy engagement, or a mixture. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus must be delivered through an IASME-licensed certification body; generic compliance automation alone does not issue the official certificate.

Step 02

Match supplier to job

If the job is to pass Cyber Essentials quickly, the decisive evidence is IASME licence status, assessor responsiveness, price, re-submission policy, and certificate turnaround. If the job is broader governance automation, the decisive evidence is control ownership, policy workflow, evidence retention, and renewal support.

Buyer checklist

Six questions to ask both suppliers

  • 01Are you IASME-licensed? If yes, ask for the licence ID. If no, the supplier cannot issue the official Cyber Essentials certificate.
  • 02Is pricing published? Gated, per-certification, subscription, or consultancy-led - confirm before procurement.
  • 03Are re-submissions, readiness support, and urgent turnaround included, or charged separately?
  • 04For MSPs: confirm tenant isolation, white-labelling, client reporting, and the margin model.
  • 05For audit: how is evidence retained, exported, and mapped to framework controls?
  • 06For renewal: does the provider support next year's certificate, or only the first submission?
