Danzell v3.3
current IASME question set, kept up to date
Cyber Essentials has 106 questions. Get one wrong and your assessor flags it.
That means a resubmission, more waiting, and potentially missing the deadline that a contract or client depends on.
IASME themselves recommend drafting your answers in a working document before you start the official assessment. CE FastTrack is that working document — structured, guided, and intelligent.

Common questions
Is CE FastTrack an official IASME product?
No. CE FastTrack is an independent preparation tool built to help UK small businesses prepare for Cyber Essentials certification. You still need to purchase and complete the official Cyber Essentials assessment through IASME or an approved Certification Body to achieve certification.
Will my answers be submitted automatically?
No. CE FastTrack produces a working document that you use to complete the official IASME assessment portal yourself. You remain in full control of your submission.
Which version of Cyber Essentials does CE FastTrack cover?
CE FastTrack covers the Danzell v3.3 question set, which is the current version of the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questionnaire.
What happens after I pay?
You get instant access to the full assessment. Work through the questions at your own pace, download your working document when you're ready, and then purchase and complete the official assessment through IASME.
Do I need any technical knowledge to use CE FastTrack?
No. Every question includes plain-English guidance explaining what is being asked and why. If you have gaps, the AI advice explains what you need to do in plain language without compliance jargon.
