Ensure that Business Data is both Secure and Legal

Information is the lifeblood of any business; whether its essential accounting transactions or client records all businesses rely on data in one form or another.

As reliance on electronic data stored on computers has increased so have the opportunities and threats. Key opportunities include being able mitigate against risks such as fire by storing multiple copies of the data and securing this in multiple locations along with being able to share the data or collaborate with colleagues or service providers.

Unfortunately, electronic data also brings its own set of risks and threats. To help businesses deal with these threats the UK and EU parliaments have provided guidelines supported by regulations.

Recent cyber-attacks on organisations such as the NHS are a reminder that cyber criminals can wreak havoc, and it’s not just high-profile businesses that are at risk. Cyber criminals are not picky – they will go after any target from which they believe they can extract a ransom.

It was recently reported GCHQ has identified that around 54% of attacks could have been prevented if the subject of the attacks had complied with the basic cyber security practices advocated by the Cyber Essentials assessment. The policies and procedures required to pass the Cyber Essentials Assessment are generally good practice in managing an IT system regardless of their other benefits and an increasing number of supply contracts now specify Cyber Essentials as a requirement.

Many organisations will also need to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by May 2018 which requires many similar policies and procedures to Cyber Essentials.

So now is the time for businesses to take action and review their Cyber security and readiness for GDPR. To find out more go to www.logiplex.co.uk/cyberessentials or call 01989 769990.
