A friend for life
FAQs
It takes two days, including the time taken to write up your report.
To ensure your report is accurate, your Critical Friend will need to speak to a number of people across your organisation including representatives from your leadership team as well as from your finance, procurement, HR and IT departments, amongst others!
It can, but it will require some careful planning as we’ll need to split the sessions into a series of separate interviews.
We’ll look at eight key areas:
- Accountability & Governance
- Data Privacy Policy
- Processes and Procedures
- Third Party Management
- Information Security
- Incident Management
- Communication
- Education
Your Critical Friend will spend an hour with you every quarter to review your compliance, share updates on GDPR and alert you to any critical news from the world of Information Security.
You can have up to one hour of telephone support per month.
