Cyber-Defence-in-Depth
Interactive Checklist

In today’s hostile online environment, it’s almost impossible to repel every cyber threat.

Rather than just focusing your security efforts on keeping attackers out of your networks and systems, it is critical to implement a wider cyber security strategy that can also reduce the impact of a successful cyber attack.

If a cyber attack or data breach hit you tomorrow, would you be prepared?

A defence-in-depth approach to cyber security ensures you can mitigate the risk of complex cyber attacks and data breaches: when one defensive layer is breached, the others work to contain the damage so you can return to normal operations as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Cyber defence in depth covers five important elements: detection, protection, management, response and recovery.

Cyber Health Check

Cyber Health Check

Our Cyber Health Check will help you identify your weakest security areas and recommend appropriate measures to mitigate your risks.

It is an independent, high-level, four-phase analysis of your cyber security posture that combines on-site consultancy and audit, technical cyber security control assessments, remote vulnerability assessments and an online staff survey.

We will identify your cyber risks, assess the effectiveness of your responses to those risks and then create a prioritised action plan for managing those risks in line with your business objectives.
