Cyber Security

We use the key cyber hygiene controls that mitigate the majority of the risk. We will undertake an in depth assessment of your infrastructure and systems, using:

• 10 cyber risk areas
• 66 hard-hitting controls
• An assessment of the business cyber risk profile and digital footprint.

The process is based on a protocol already used in Irwin Mitchell and aims to give small to medium size businesses and start ups a practical means to understand your current situation and give you tools to better protect your business.

All businesses are at risk.

Criminals are interested in making money from anyone who is willing to pay out.

Common perception is that cyberattacks are complex, difficult-to-stop operations. The reality is that most attacks stem from a lack of basic security best practices. E.g. good passwords and identifying phishing attempts.

Stolen passwords are by far the most common way enterprise accounts and data get compromised.

Even attacks by nation-state actors typically rely on simple tactics like password sprays, which capitalise on employees using weak passwords.

Pricing will be depend on the size, complexity and shape of the organisation and system to be audited. Infrastructure, hosted vs onsite, the number of sites, software, hardware etc. will also contribute to the final cost estimate.
