Cyber Security Consulting

The speed at which organisations identify, control and mitigate cyber security risks has a significant impact on their risk profile. Our consultants have extensive industry experience in assessing the organisation’s current maturity or posture, and developing a bespoke set of activities (or roadmap) to elevate its ability to protect its assets in line with its business objectives. We also partner with clients to define and execute their remediation activities to strengthen their security controls and mitigate cyber security risks.

Data Protection

Data protection practices are often not adequately embedded and
maintained following their initial implementation to meet the 2018
GDPR deadline. Regulators are increasingly issuing enforcement
actions and fines. We help organisations assess their compliance
against the Information Commissioner’s Office’s expectations and
deliver a remediation plan to achieve a defensible position.
