New cyber incident pack A new Cyber Incident Pack has been launched following data from the department for digital, culture, media and sport which found that only 19% of businesses and 22% of charities have a formal incident response plan in place. The new documents are “best suited” for small businesses or charities that don’t have an existing plan in place and want to create one, but they can also complement any existing plans. The five-part pack includes an emergency contact list template and covers the legal implications of a cyber incident for businesses.
They achieve this by providing education, testing and training delivered by our team of trusted professionals, seconded police officers and Ethical Hacking students studying cybersecurity at local universities. And are proud to now form part of a national network of regional Cyber Resilience Centres, featured in the HM Government National Cyber Strategy 2022. There are a huge amount of resources of support a vailable to local business either at a subsidised low cost or no cost at all so please do take advice from these trusted experts – more information here.
