Why More Businesses Should Get Cyber Essentials Certified
Cyber threats are not just a concern for large corporations or industries known for handling large amounts of valuable client data, such as law firms, businesses of all sizes and sectors are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals. Whether you manage a retail business, a manufacturing company, a financial service or even a non-profit organisation, cybersecurity needs to be a priority. The Cyber Essentials scheme, backed by the UK government, is designed to provide a solid foundation for businesses to protect themselves against cyber threats. While law firms and financial institutions have been quick to adopt Cyber Essentials, many other industries will benefit from this scheme just as much.
CCTV for Business: How It Can Improve Your Business Security and Compliance
In an ever-evolving business landscape, security has become a paramount concern for companies of all sizes. One of the most effective tools available to enhance security and ensure compliance is Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV). This technology not only helps deter crime, but also provides a sense of security for employees and customers alike. In this post, we’re going to explore why CCTV is absolutely essential for modern businesses, how it can reduce insurance costs and prevent theft, as well as important considerations around GDPR compliance when it comes to installing CCTV systems.
