Cyber resilience is critical for government organisations and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). Our GovAssure Assessment Service provides an independent, expert-led assurance review of your Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) self-assessment, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and a clear path for improvement.
What is GovAssure
GovAssure is the UK government’s cybersecurity assurance framework, developed by the Government Security Group (GSG) and the National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) to strengthen government cyber resilience.
The GovAssure framework assesses critical government systems at OFFICIAL classification and applies to government sector CNI. Organisations must self-assess their security maturity against one of two target CAF profiles:
- Baseline – For standard government operations.
- Enhanced – For higher-risk systems and functions.
Our GovAssure Stage 4 Assurance Review delivers an independent assessment to verify the accuracy of self-assessment findings, ensuring compliance and providing evidence-based insights for security improvements.
The GovAssure five-stage process includes:
- Understanding organisational context and services.
- Defining in-scope systems and assigning a CAF profile.
- Conducting a self-assessment.
- Performing an independent assurance review (our role).
- Finalising the assessment and developing a Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP).
Why It Matters To You

Identifies Security Gaps – Get independent validation of cyber risk exposure and resilience.
Supports Targeted Improvement Plans (TIPs) – Clear, evidence-based recommendations for security enhancements.
Builds Confidence in Cyber Readiness – Demonstrate effective risk management and security governance.
