Protection from Cyber Security Threats

With the burden on the sector to comply with rigorous compliance with strict licencing rules, it falls on each organisation to ensure that they protect themselves from any potential Cyber Security threat and mitigate breach possibilities through implementing integral procedures which should include Cyber Essentials running alongside a Data Privacy Framework which includes relevant employee GDPR Training.

Many organisations collate and store sensitive client data including passports, driving licences and bank statements, due diligence through carrying out specific Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) should be recorded as part of the Data Privacy Framework.

Your organisation may also require as part of the regulatory framework, SOC 2 certification. Through our background in SOC 2, IT and security audit, our consultants understand the level of rigour required for a service provider to prepare for and pass SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 audits. Our team leverages this understanding to develop and support a programme of activities for Service Providers to help them achieve audit readiness. This includes support for defining the system scope, documenting the Service Description and controls, and identifying control deficiencies that need to
be addressed before the audit takes place.
