What expert cyber-security does my business need?
1
The inconvenient facts about Cyber Security
- The number and value of incidents is increasing.
- Cyber Crime is BIG business and they keep investing in new tools.
- If you aren’t keeping your defences up, then it is only a matter of time before you fall victim (i.e. if your cyber protection is the same now as it was even just one year ago, then you are increasingly vulnerable.
- You have to ward them off every hour of every day, they only have to get through once.
You might say this is scare-mongering. If all this hacking is going on and nothing has happened yet, then surely I don’t need to worry?
We’d say “good luck to you – why do you have seat belts in your car? – its only a question of time.”

What Cybersecurity Protection Level Do You Need?
Q: Does this mean I don’t need cyber-insurance? A: You still need cyber-insurance. We can only reduce your risk (and most insurers will want to see these protections in place before they will offer cover)
Q: What is involved installing KARE? A: Once a PC, Mac, Tablet or Phone is ready, our scripts run every time you login and the security tools auto-install – with configuration for corporate devices and BYOD.

How about the broader cyber-framework?
Comprehensive Data Protection & Compliance
Platform Security is just part of a broader cyber-security and data protection framework.
Have you considered how manage your data within your Microsoft tenancy? How’s your Microsoft “Secure Score“? As you get the external security set up, let us work with you to manage the other side – your internal security.
Our consultants can work with you to understand what data your organisation maintains, and the obligations (and client expectations) and the rules that need to be established to protect it. Who should have access to which libraries? What can be shared and what can’t be. How do you work with external partners and protect your content?
We can document your data policy, prepare your data privacy policies, incident response plans and data management structures, and we can set up compliance regular reporting.
We’ll implement the policies in your 365 and manage your data to make sure it’s where it should be, not suffering from duplication confusion or unintended leakage
Data Management
The tidier your data, the easier it is for AI to use it well to accelerate your productivity
