CyberCert — SMB Cybersecurity Certification (SMB1001)
CyberCert is the certification body for SMB1001, the only international cyber standard specifically for SMBs. A tiered certification path — Bronze through Diamond — lets small businesses demonstrate cybersecurity maturity to insurers, enterprise clients, and government bodies. MSP-driven certification program now active in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
CyberCert is a different kind of compliance product — it is not a GRC platform, it is a certification program. For SMBs that need to prove cybersecurity posture to insurers, supply chain partners, or government requirements, having a recognized certification carries weight.
The tiered approach means businesses can start with basic protections and grow into more advanced levels over time. It is also an interesting conversation-starter for working with clients who have not thought about formal cybersecurity certification before.

Where CyberCert Fits
CyberCert does not compete directly with GRC platforms like Apptega or Compliance Scorecard — it is a certification program, not a compliance management tool. Think of it as the output (a credential) rather than the process (managing controls).
It is most relevant for SMBs in industries where proving cybersecurity posture is becoming a requirement — especially around cyber insurance qualification and supply chain security.
