CUSTOMERS EXPECT TO BE SECURE WHEN THEY INTERACT WITH YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE

Cyber attacks are increasing in frequency, scale and sophistication. Opportunistic criminals are taking advantage of the same technological advancement that firms are using to grow, and have come to pose a real threat to firms of all shapes and sizes.

When a customer interacts with your business, they trust you to protect their data and, in many cases, their money. The cost of failing to do so can be huge – and this is not just financial cost we’re talking about. 

It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm has a robust cyber security framework in place. Having this independently verified will only improve your security.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GADHIA CONSULTANTS

Huntswood and our partners, Gadhia Consultants, are well-placed to support in your journey to cyber resilience. With decades of combined experience at the frontline of the battle against cyber-enabled crime, we can ensure your business has a fit-for-purpose strategy in place.

We'll help you manage the fallout from cyber incidents and ensure that your business is operationally resilient enough to manage future attacks. We can also provide trained resource at critical times to keep your operation performing and delivering the right customer outcomes.

DEVELOPING AND TESTING YOUR STRATEGY AND FRAMEWORK

Cyber defence must be more than just reacting to events and attacks. Businesses must develop a cyber security strategy, with effective Board and executive oversight, to ensure a unified approach to managing cyber risk. All employees need to be upskilled on the potential ‘red flags’ that could signal a cyber-attack.
