The Diamond level is the highest recognition under the SMB1001 Standard. It represents a rare and elite level of cybersecurity maturity—available only to organisations that lead by example, influence others, and demonstrate exceptional resilience.

Diamond-certified organisations:

• Operate with predictive, adaptive cybersecurity practices

• Influence industry peers and supply chains through strong leadership

• Align business strategy with long-term security outcomes

• Demonstrate operational resilience through proven incident response and continuity planning

For an SMB, reaching this level is not about perfection—it’s about leadership. It’s a signal to your stakeholders that you are among the most trusted, secure, and prepared organisations in your sector.
