Our Services Cybersecurity
Blockchain foundry
Cyber-risk management is a governance issue, not an IT problem. We bridge the gap between your management decision-making and what’s happening at the coalface of your cybersecurity.
We help you answer the question – how could our industry be affected by blockchain technology, and how can we use it to our advantage?
Independent We don’t sell or install products, which means our advice is completely independent. We can assist your IT department with selecting products and vendors, but have no affiliation to any other company.

CYBERSECURITY
Cyber-risk: governance and management Managing cyber-risk is not an IT issue Are you aware of your responsibilities when it comes to managing your organisation’s cyber-risk? Every day, your business data and systems face ever-increasing risk – from malicious attack, but also more commonly from human error, inattention or ignorance. In fact, 70% of cyber-attack incidents are caused by staff.
Understanding and minimising these risks is critical to the future of your organisation – it’s an important governance issue and Institutes of Directors around the world are becoming aligned on this.
Board principles in cyber-risk oversight As part of modern governance, boards must understand and monitor cyber-risk, develop strategies for seeking assurance, and oversee management.
The Institute also recommends that directors understand how legislation may apply to their specific circumstances.
This begins with viewing cyber-risk not as an IT issue, but as something to be in included in organisation-wide risk-management.
Do you clearly understand the risks you’re facing, and what is being done to mitigate them?
The Institute of Directors recommends that boards should access cyber-risk expertise, and dedicate adequate discussion time in board meeting agendas. This will enable the board to categorise the risks to be avoided, which are acceptable, and which should be transferred to insurance. The board should expect their management team to establish a framework for managing the company’s cyber-risk.

BLOCKCHAIN
You need to know about blockchain The way you do business is about to change What is blockchain? Blockchain was originally developed as the immutable database for digital or cryptocurrencies, and has applications with profound implications for business at every level and in every industry. A blockchain allows for information to be disseminated, but not modified, making it an incorruptible digital record of transactions, financial or otherwise.
It is, in essence, a shared database that can be hosted by millions of computers at once, and constantly updated and reconciled. This means records remain transparent and verifiable, and since there is no single, centralised version of the information, there is nothing that can be corrupted by hackers.
Blockchain can’t be ignored How will your organisation be affected? Blockchain’s transparency and inherent robustness was the foundation for cryptocurrencies, but it has the potential to fundamentally change the way we do business. This disruption has already begun and organisations must now choose to either lead the change in their industry, or face the possibility of obsolescence.
Exploring a blockchain strategy for your business will give you a first-mover advantage. The applications and benefits will vary considerably, but one thing you can count on is that if you don’t explore the use of blockchain in your industry, someone else will.
Begin with blockchain Take the lead in the disruption blockchain will inevitably bring to your industry.
