Information Security and Data Protection
Ensuring that data is secure is a legal requirement
Data protection legislation requires that organisations ‘do everything in their power’ to ensure the security of personal data.
This could be considered as an ambiguous requirement, however our advice to clients is that they should be doing everything that is both financially and technically feasible for them to do.
That said, organisations must ensure that personal data:
Is kept confidential
Is accurate and its integrity is maintained
Is available to be used for its intended purpose
Note – We can review your current security status and provide you with the necessary advice to keep your organisations personal data safe and ensure legal compliance.

How do we help our clients?
We help our clients to provide the necessary evidence that they are complying with the requirements of the UK and EU GDPR in relation to the security of personal data as covered under Articles 5 and 32.
The requirements will vary based upon what the organisation is processing, how they are operating and what controls, documentation and training is needed to support their compliance.
Examples of what we can provide is below:
All organisations are required to have an Information Security Policy. We would consider this to be a mandatory requirement.
We can review your working arrangements, existing security controls and design a suitable policy that fits with your needs and the legislative requirements.
The sad reality is that the biggest risk to personal data is from cyber crime.
Organisations must protect their business and the personal data that they process from cyber attack.
We are experienced in providing robust cyber resilience plans that will improve the overall security posture and reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack.
There are legal requirements to be ready and prepared to manage incidents (under the UK and EU GDPR).
Incidents also have to take into account any regulatory requirements.
Therefore, for the above reasons, having an incident response plan is vital to the security and compliance of an organisation.
Note – this is generally a prerequisite for your cyber security insurance to be valid.
We can develop an appropriate Incident Response Plan to ensure compliance and the validity of your cyber insurance.
Having an effective Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan is vital to the security of personal data and the operational resilience of most modern organisations.
There are legal requirements to protect against data loss (as what could happen in the event of a cyber attack).
The ability to recover from such incidents is not only seen as a mandatory compliance requirement but it is also a prerequisite for most cyber security insurances.
We provide consultancy to develop these plans on your behalf.
