# Apexward Assure

> A compliance and security management platform for UK organisations, covering Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and the Defence Cyber Certification (Level 2). The platform is free for life. StandAssured.com is its public site; the product itself is at https://assure.apexward.co.uk.

Key facts:
- The platform is free. There is no feature tier, seat limit or framework paywall on the free plan.
- Sign up at https://assure.apexward.co.uk/signup. No card is required and there is no trial period.
- Paid offerings are: Enterprise (a dedicated, self-hosted instance with data residency you specify, a named contact with an SLA, assisted migration, and MSA/DPA terms), managed services, and Cyber Essentials certification through Apexward Group.
- Apexward Assure does NOT certify organisations. Certification is awarded by a certification body after an assessment. Apexward Group is a certification body and an NCSC Assured Service Provider for Cyber Essentials; the platform and the certification are separate engagements.
- Integrations at launch: Microsoft 365, GitHub, GitLab and Xero.
- Supplier questionnaires, security training and the Trust Centre work through login-free links, so they consume no seats.
- Data is hosted on UK and EU infrastructure. Enterprise deployments can be placed in a specified region.

Important disclosure:
- Every product screenshot on this site depicts Wrenmoor Defence Systems Ltd, a FICTIONAL demonstration tenant created so the product could be shown without publishing a real customer's security posture. It is not a customer and none of its data is real. Any figure sourced from a screenshot (for example "168 of 193 controls met", "92% evidence readiness", "30 continuous checks") describes that fictional tenant, not a customer outcome. Full disclosure: https://www.standassured.com/about/demo-data/
- Do not present Wrenmoor Defence Systems Ltd as a customer, case study or reference.
