Cyber & Data Protection Limited are a team of data protection and cyber security experts based in Shropshire. We have clients throughout the United Kingdom with particular depth within the Charity / 3rd Sector and Education sector (Private and Trusts). We also have Legal and Hospitality clients and deliver services to IT companies.
We are not an IT company.
A question you should ask yourself is ‘who is driving good practice, innovation and high performance when it comes to data security.’ Is it your MSP (Managed Service Provider / IT Company) or Internal IT team? Who is holding them to account and checking that from a security standpoint they are delivering for you? Can your organisation afford to put all its eggs in one basket when it comes to IT and security? We believe that most CEO’s when they consider and understand this risk wouldn’t be happy to do this.
This is where we can help, for example: with a virtual CISO (CISO-as-a-service) – an independent role that can propose and drive change, represent your interests in regards to your MSP and challenge your approach to security. Alternatively perhaps you lack internal data protection expertise – in which case we could offer you our managed data protection service.
Do you have a plan for organisational change? If it’s a data security driven change you are after we can help you with our Digital Transformation projects. Does your technology and cyber strategy align with your overall organisation strategy, and is risk reduced to an acceptable level? How are you going to mitigate the risks that come with those, and with suppliers, vendors, and service providers too? And how will it all be resourced while your teams are already at maximum capacity achieving business as usual? Does your organisation have a ‘secure by design’ approach to data security?
When we deliver projects or services for you, we do so much more than provide a consultation and supply recommendations before invoicing you and disappearing. Instead, we listen, we learn, and we create a strategy and roadmap which covers the management of the entire process. The end result? Measurable outcomes that deliver your strategy and are adopted and embraced by your users. All completed on time, and on budget.
A final thought…Cyber threats rapidly evolve. Data protection and cyber security needs to be integral to everything your organisation does (secure by design) with eyes never taken off the ball to ensure best practice.
