COMPLIANCE

Of all the risks facing your organisation, cyber risk is perhaps the most pervasive and potentially damaging. The threat of attack is growing every day as more and more hackers try to steal data and disrupt business.

How vulnerable are you? Do you even know? Do you have security measures in place? How effective are they, and how can you be sure?

Any Company has the potential to be attacked

Cyber risk is a two-sided coin.

External cyber criminals are intent on stealing, damaging or destroying data by gaining unauthorised access to your network – their motive is usually financial. There’s then the less-discussed risk of insider threat. Whether it be intentional or not, damage caused by employees breaching security measures is yet another cause for concern. So, how do you get on top of this? It all starts with being able to answer these three questions:

Security Risk Management

It’s virtually impossible for most in-house teams to stay abreast of all digital assets within a company, not to mention their threat level too.

By employing a team of experts, armed with market leading technology to help with this, you can be confident that your business is focussed on minimising the risks of ingress or miss-use through vulnerable digital assets.

With this in mind, a compliance and vulnerability assessment driven by NCL is a very sensible first step
