Cybersecurity management: Reduce risk and protect your business

Our increasing commercial reliance on cloud-based services and mass data storage solutions means cybersecurity threats from a variety of sources are on the rise. As cyber criminals become more sophisticated in their methods, businesses cannot afford to ignore the risk of a cyber-attack. So, it may be reassuring to know that many cyber-attacks are opportunistic and can be foiled by implementing relatively simple security measures.
We work with businesses across a range of sectors to help them develop an appropriate cybersecurity strategy and manage the risk of cyber-attacks in a proportionate and practical manner. Our work involves:

Assessing risk to your business

Based on the sector you work in, the size of your business and the nature of the information you hold.

Providing comprehensive data protection and cybersecurity training to staff.

Advising on measures to increase cyber resilience

Including advice on use of shared computers, use of encryption, ensuring software is regularly updated and portable devices are handled securely.

Examining the data

You hold to ensure you are following GDPR guidance on data retention.

Undertaking full data audits

As well as, disposing of unnecessary data. These audits should be carried out at regular intervals as part of your overall risk management policy.

Ensuring you are compliant

With any relevant cybersecurity laws and regulations.

Advising on employment practices

To ensure you make adequate security checks on staff.

Producing protocols

For use when engaging with third parties to ensure their systems are data and cyber secure.

 

Creating incident response plans

That can be activated quickly in the event of a breach.

Notifying relevant parties

In the event of a cyber breach, including the Information Commissioner.

What are the benefits of getting legal advice on cybersecurity?

Reduce risk of attack on your business

There’s no standardised approach to cybersecurity. To properly manage the risk to your company you need to consider your own situation. What software do you use? How do you manage staff access to data? What training is in place? What opportunities do your IT systems and processes present to hackers? Legal advice from specialist cybersecurity lawyers that focuses on your requirements can quickly identify flaws and examine how risk can be removed or reduced.

Ensure compliance with regulations

Cybercrime poses significant risks not just to individual businesses but also to the economy and infrastructure of the country generally. Unsurprisingly there is now an array of rules and regulations designed to increase cybersecurity. Middle East and Europe companies must comply with the rules relevant to them. Legislation includes the Communications Act, GDPR, the Data Protection Act, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations and the Computer Misuse Act. Our data protection lawyers can help ensure compliance with these rules, reducing the risk of sanction and any resulting disruption to your business.

Help mitigate penalties resulting from a breach

If a cyber attack results in any significant data breach it will lead to the involvement of the Information Commissioner and any individuals affected may sue you in the civil courts. In all instances being able to demonstrate that you took all appropriate steps to reduce or remove the threat of cybercrime to your business, including investing in specialist legal advice – is an effective way to help lessen any penalty you might face. For example, evidence of good data governance and staff training that we help implement as part of our service demonstrates a willingness to comply with the rules. It’s proof that you are a responsible business that takes the threat of cybercrime seriously and its implications for private data seriously.
