Enhancing cyber resilience means everyone takes personal responsibility for keeping your organisation safe. Your team must have the confidence, know-how and experience to play their part. Each company must create robust processes, educate staff and have a healthy cyber aware culture, with procedures in place to protect the business, customers and clients.

Good cyber hygiene is particularly important in high-risk roles and those who have access to sensitive data.

Proactive cyber measures are no longer a discretionary option or a nice ‘add on’. They are an essential element of operating an organisation in an increasingly digital, data-based business environment.

Helen Barge, Risk Evolves Managing Director, said: “As we navigate further into the digital age, it’s important for all organisations to anticipate and lead on cyber resilience.

“As risk managers, we always expect the unexpected and see compliance as a vital asset.

“At Risk Evolves, we actively conduct threat intelligence analysis to address emerging risks – sharing knowledge with clients and partners. The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) is just one example of exhilarating yet potentially risky developments. It is imperative to incorporate emerging technologies responsibly, considering information security, social impacts and data protection.”

We know what it’s like to run a growing business, because we run one too. Which is why we recognise what needs to be done. Being prepared is better than having to spend a lot of time and money repairing a damaged business and reputation.
