Streamline compliance across
every framework you need

The Cyber Trust Mark is a CSA certification for organisations with more extensive digitalised operations. It uses a risk-based approach to assess cybersecurity maturity across 10 to 22 domains (depending on your tier) covering areas including Cloud Security, AI Security, and OT (Operational Technology) Security. The certification is valid for 3 years with annual surveillance audits.

The Cyber Trust Mark is structured across 5 cybersecurity preparedness tiers, assessed based on your organisation’s digital maturity, size, and risk profile: Supporter (Entry-level), Practitioner (Core practices), Promoter (Proactive management), Performer (Advanced risk management), and Advocate (Highest maturity). Zavior conducts a guided self-assessment to determine the appropriate tier for your organisation.

Depending on your tier, the Cyber Trust Mark assesses across up to 22 domains, including: governance and risk management, access control, asset management, cloud security, AI security, OT (Operational Technology) security, incident response, vulnerability management, and supply chain risk, among others.

For CSA certifications like Cyber Essentials and the Cyber Trust Mark, auditors are accredited and appointed through the government, organisations engage them directly as part of the certification process. Zavior's role as a platform is to help you organize the evidence, documentation, and controls with your organization or with your consultants so that everything is in order before the auditor arrives.

Cyber Essentials can typically be achieved within 4–6 weeks. For the Cyber Trust Mark, readiness depends on your target tier, most organisations achieve their target tier within 8–16 weeks with Zavior’s guided roadmap. We handle evidence collection, policy documentation, and gap remediation throughout.

Auditors are accredited and appointed through the government. They independently verify and certify that you meet the standards. Zavior’s role is to organize and prepare. We do not audit. We work alongside your organization (and any consultants you have engaged) to prepare the necessary evidence and technical controls. Think of Zavior as the platform that gets you audit-ready.

Zavior works closely with consultants, and if your organisation already has one engaged, we can complement that relationship. If you're looking to manage compliance internally, Zavior can support that too. Where we add value is in the long-term execution: we implement the controls, maintain the live evidence, and monitor your posture continuously. You get an ongoing security and compliance function rather than a point-in-time report.

Yes, internal auditors focus on governance and risk reporting, but typically don't implement technical controls. Zavior handles the technical implementation layer, setting up controls, automating evidence collection, and managing ongoing certifications, allowing your internal audit team to focus on oversight. The two functions complement each other.

Absolutely. Zavior as a platform can coordinate directly with your internal compliance, legal, and IT teams, and liaises with your external auditor on your behalf. We translate technical controls into audit evidence, resolve auditor queries, and ensure nothing falls through the gaps.
