Short answer
Fig Group does not currently publish a separate charity discount. The Micro tier is £299.99 + VAT, subject to the correct staff band. The previous NCSC funded programme is closed; check a newly announced official funding scheme and its eligibility before budgeting for a grant.
Why this matters
Pricing questions matter because buyers are often trying to distinguish the mandatory scheme fee from assessor support, resubmission charges, consultancy add-ons, VAT, and any urgency premium. A low headline price is only useful if the buyer can see what is included and what could still cost extra.
Fig publishes Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus prices by organisation size, uses the same product catalogue across checkout and pricing pages, and explains VAT and resubmissions before purchase. The buyer should know the total certification path before paying, not after a failed first submission.
What to check next
- Check the organisation size tier before buying.
- Confirm whether VAT, re-submissions, and support are included.
- Use the readiness checker before submitting if you are unsure about MFA, patching, BYOD, or scope.
Official sources and related Fig Group guidance
For scheme-level confirmation, use the official NCSC and IASME resources. Fig Group links to these sources so Cyber Essentials buyers can verify the scheme, delivery partner and certificate record independently.
